"Little Red Book" Braille edition printed in Braille" edited by the PLA Central Political Department as transcribed by the Shanghai Municipal Blind Persons` Middle School Printing Company brown cartridge paper sewed contents worked loose from stitching original flexible red vinyl plastic covers with the Chinese title and red star lightly indented on the front heavily soiled and torn some chipping rear cover repaired with brown tape small folio [Shanghai or Beijing] Blind Person`s Monthly Press July 1967; possibly incomplete and sold not subject to return. ***Amongst the rarest "translations" made of Mao`s Little Red Book. The first official date when education was provided to the blind in China is 1874 when the opening of the first school for the blind was started by foreign missionaries though the Guild of Blind Musicians (mainly for the Court) is known to have existed as early as the Han dynasty two thousand years ago. Presumably the embossed Braille alphabet has translated the original Chinese characters into Pinyin for Chinese readers " but it is difficult to verify its full collation since none of the bibliographies of Chairman Mao`s writings pay special attention to this version aside from noting its existence. It appears to collate in gatherings of three leaves + three stubbs; the earliest Braille version of Quotations identified is from May 1966 but only this second edition published one year later was issued in a gigantic red vinyl binding.
