Just posting some photos of a Hobbit I had not seen before. Seems to have been issued by the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association. Not sure if they needed permission or not to produce.

Cool! Haven't seen one like that before (I've seen Braille editions).
A bit of online searches shows that "copyright licensing agency print disability license" is something in the UK that can grant certain rights to reproduce works of others that are typically protected by copyright, under very limited circumstances to help the visually impaired. I do not think the reproducer needs to explicitly ask for permission from the copyright holder, if they have the above license from the government.

Yes - That makes sense! Many thanks.
And on the same theme, here is another one I had not seen. A Dyslexic Edition.
