Bookshop owner to publish dyslexic-friendly books

The owner of an independent book shop plans to publish a series of dyslexic-friendly books for adults.

Alistair Sims, who runs Books on the Hill in Clevedon, has identified publications by eight authors for the project including Rudyard Kipling and local writer Thana Niveau.

He said: "I'm dyslexic and my sister and many of my friends are too, so it really means something to me."

The books will be published on cream paper, using Verdana font, with spacing that is easier for people with dyslexia to read.
