Books for Adult Dyslexia

By Books On The Hill

Historically there have been no dyslexic friendly books for adults in the mainstream publishing arena. We at Books on the Hill wanted to change that and so have  published our own range.  They are printed on 'friendly to the eye' paper and the font and layout all have the dyslexic reader in mind.  They are short stories for everyone to enjoy - not just those with dyslexia.  Sometimes we just want a quick read that really ticks all the boxes of a great read!  We have also added some books that have now been published by Bloomsbury in a more friendly format.
