Member Detail: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Blackstone Audio, Inc. has been named America's largest independent producer of unabridged audiobooks. With over 4,500 titles and 35 new releases each month, we offer the finest in contemporary fiction and non-fiction, as well as the world's greatest classics. 

Blackstone Audio is proud to announce the introduction of DAISY books to their library customers. The move brings a higher level of accessibility to commercial publishing and expands opportunities for individuals and print disability agencies to purchase a growing range of books.

Following discussions with Vision Australia in 2009, Blackstone Audio became aware of the potential worldwide market for accessible content. With the assistance of the technical team at Vision Australia, the first batch were delivered in October, and made available to clients shortly after. Based on the worldwide audio standard, Blackstone will produce future orders in DAISY 2.02 compliant format.  This partnership between Australia's largest blindness agency and a major commercial vendor of English language materials demonstrates how organizations work together to expand mutually beneficial opportunities to other blindness agencies and increase the availability of accessible information.
