Talking Books is 70

November 9, 2005

The Talking Books Service celebrates its 70th anniversary this month.

On November 7 1935, blind and partially sighted people had a choice of two titles – Agatha Christie’s The Murder of Roger Ackroyd and Joseph Conrad’s Typhoon.

The early books were recorded onto 12 inch discs which played at 24rpm.
