“Library Shows Digital Talking Book”
From the article, “It will be a talking book that even looks like a book, although most of its users will never see it. Instead of a cassette tape, it will have no moving parts but will read a volume digitally from a card smaller than a credit card. The dull silvery cover folds on a hinge to the size of a normal book from a library shelf. The section of the Library of Congress that circulates talking books for the blind exhibited on Monday the winning model among 146 entries from 28 design schools. It came from Lachezar Tsvetanov, a 23-year-old student of industrial design from Sofia, Bulgaria, studying at the University of Bridgeport, Conn. He won a $5,000 (U.S.) first prize.”
