I admit I don't have the smartest fingers in the world, but the Braille in this book has some problems. It's not tactile enough to read by finger, at least not to me. I also wish the Braille were contracted (grade 2) Braille, as is standard; I think this would increase the accessibility for Braille readers, who could well find the book interesting. The tactile pictures, however, are REALLY neat, and I wish I could use similar techniques with my own tactile graphics. I guess I'll have to stick with shirt paint, though. :(
I see a lot of usefulness in this book, despite the shortcomings. It would make me very happy, though, if the Braille problems could be corrected (especially the readability problem, even if uncontracted Braille were still used). Perhaps this can be fixed in the future, although I don't think the book should be marketed as being completely accessible to blind people until then.
