Muggles rejoice!

Posted by Steven R. Neuman at 9:52 AM |

I got my copy of HP and the Half-Blood Prince today. I'm at work so it's sitting on my desk, burning me with its tempting, green cover. I heard the first paragraph on NPR and it was surprising hear about a prime minister instead of Mr. Potter - possibly my favorite literary celebrity except maybe Hunter S. Thompson. One thing that I found interesting about their story: a nonprofit printer and publisher, in cooperation with Potter publisher Scholastic, will publish Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in Braille on July 19, in eight volumes. This is apparently a record-breaking turnaround.
I wish I could just read it now. Damn you ethics, damn you.
