argon daisy edition – DAISY in the commercial book-trade in Germany

Konferenzbeitrag

In October 2008 Argon published the first DAISY audio books: 20 bestsellers from the publisher of audio books were “DAISYfied”. At present 10–15 DAISY titles are released per month, which are obtainable at the booksellers. The DAISY books can be classified as type two books; they combine textual headings and audio content. The accompanying booklet is recorded as well and is added as audio content. To distinguish DAISY audio books from audio books on audio CD, the former are packaged in a keep case with a label in Braille. According to Argon’s programme profile the titles of the DAISY edition cover all kinds of genres from literature, entertainment, crime fiction and children‘s books to non-fiction.
