Playboy has been publishing a Braille copy of its magazine since 1970. The project is funded by the US government (National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped).

The funding from the government was withdrawn in 1986 but was reinstated soon after a legal challenge.

Yes, we all understand that you read Playboy for the articles 🙂
