A pornographic book for the blind has been launched in Canada, using Braille text and raised images to titillate its readers.
The book's designer, Lisa Murphy, perceived a gap in the market and took the opportunity to fill it. She said: "There are no books of tactile pictures of nudes for adults."
"We're breaking new ground. Playboy has an edition with Braille wording, but there are no pictures."
Tactile Minds was produced using 3-D thermoform plastic, enabling Murphy to translate photos she had taken into raised images.
Amongst the 17 tactile pictures included in the book are a naked woman in a 'disco pose', a male 'love robot' and a woman with 'perfect breasts'.
Tactile Minds is available for £150 ($225). Most of the copies sold by Muphy thus far have been bought as an art object by sighted patrons, possibly because of low exposure, perhaps because her work is too expensive for many.
