Large Print editions?
I realize this is a somewhat bizarre request, but it's almost Mother's Day, and my mother's eyesight is not what it once was. Has any Wolfe been put out in a large print edition? Adam

As far as I can tell, Wolfe hasn't appeared in large print editions. I used the Large Print Search on largeprintbooks.com, which searches Amazon for LP books, but apparently no LP Wolfe books are listed in Amazon's catalog. If your mother has a Kindle or other eReader, I believe that some Wolfe books are available in e-form. -Matt

Perhaps you could get a "talking book"? I guess it's some sort of computer-generated audio book created for visually-impaired readers? Though I can't imagine it would do well with some of Wolfe's more ornate vocabulary. http://www.loc.gov/nls/ -Matt
