Focus - clearly a better read

Many people struggle to read their favourite books simply because the "standard" font size is too small. FOCUS, a new campaign to make popular and bestselling books available in Large Print, is set to change all that.

From October 2009, a list of 82 great reads appealing to a wide readership will be available in Large Print on Waterstones.com, including 7 new lead titles from bestselling authors Marina Lewycka, Josephine Cox, Wilbur Smith, Audrey Niffenegger, Alan Titchmarsh, Clarissa Dickson Wright and Alexander McCall Smith.

The books will look exactly the same as their standard font counterparts. The cover and content is exactly the same; it is only the font that is larger - 16 point rather than the standard 10 point.

Please note that we also have our Browsealoud feature to help visually impaired shoppers on Waterstones.com.
