Selling Sex in a Recession: Erotica - 8/3/2009 - Publishers Weekly

Selling Sex in a Recession: Erotica - 8/3/2009 - Publishers Weekly: "But digital versions of erotica aren't the only new thing between the sheets. Cleis and Viva Editions has just formed a new partnership with ReadHowYouWant to release a number of titles in large print, Braille and DAISY—a digital talking book format targeting people with disabilities—later this year. “We are extremely excited to be able to provide erotica books to the visually impaired for the first time,” says Knight."

PW has done a major article on erotica publishing and includes a mention of ReadHowYouWant's work with Cleis. The large print editions should provide a powerful way for indie stores to add more to their communities.
