If we think braille volumes take up a lot of space, books in moon print
would be even bulkier in that with braille contractions more words can be
placed on each page than would be possible with moon print. Also, as has
been pointed out earlier, with moon print, only one side of a page can be
printed upon. Certainly, braille is less cumbersome than moon print would
be. If I recall correctly, there were several systems of reading and
writing for the blind which emerged at about the same time as Louis
Braille's system of writing, which was apparently far less complex in that
the patern we know today would have been far easier to learn and to teach.
Just my thoughts.
