Large Print & Easy-to-Read Books (A Comfort Guide)

If small print has become a strain — for you or someone you care for — large-print books make reading and puzzling comfortable again. Here's what to look for in large-print and easy-to-read books, and why they make such a difference.

What makes a book truly easy to read

• Large, bold type with high contrast (crisp black on white).
• Generous spacing between lines and letters, so nothing blurs together.
• Uncluttered pages — one puzzle or a clean block of text per page.
• Matte pages that don't glare under a reading lamp.

Great large-print options

Beyond novels, large-print puzzle books are a wonderful, active choice — word search, sudoku, and mazes all come in big-print editions that are comfortable to enjoy without a magnifier. They're a thoughtful pick for older readers and anyone who simply prefers bigger print.

A comfortable, enjoyable choice

Comfort is what keeps someone reading or puzzling for pleasure instead of giving up after a page. Large print removes the strain and puts the fun back in.

An easy pick: a large-print large-print puzzle book from Planful Nest on Amazon — big print, one puzzle per page, answers in the back.
