There are no rules for print/braille books.  I have some suggestions, but that is all they are - suggestions.  I hope they help!  Cindi

  1.  Vary where you place the labels - this allows for less thickness for the book as a whole when it is done.  You can place the labels over text or pictures - wherever it seems most appropriate for the page.
  2. Round the corners of the labels - they don't get caught on things as easily and tend to stay on the page better.
  3. I'm not exactly sure what you mean for "text in pictures" but we will sometimes treat dialog as regular paragraphs or else do them as cartoons or picture captions - it really depends on what the print looks like.
