A PORNOGRAPHIC BOOK FOR THE BLIND HAS BEEN RECENTLY LAUNCHED, COMPLETE WITH EXPLICIT TEXT AND RAISED PICTURES OF NAKED MEN AND WOMEN. THE BOOK, THE BRAINCHILD OF LISA MURPHY AND CALLED TACTILE MINDS, IS DESIGNED TO BE 'ENJOYED' BY THE BLIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED, AND IS ON SALE FOR £150. AMONG THE 17 RAISED IMAGES INCLUDE A NAKED WOMAN IN A 'DISCO POSE', A WOMAN WITH 'PERFECT BREASTS' AND A 'MALE LOVE ROBOT'. MURPHY SAYS THAT SHE MADE THE BOOK TO FILL A GAP IN THE MARKET, ADDING: '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' SHE SAID SHE MADE THE BOOK AFTER REALIZING THAT THE 'BLIND HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT IN A CULTURE SATURATED WITH SEXUAL IMAGES'.
