A friend's dad is coming to town for the holiday weekend. He has a
sight problem. I have heard of playing cards with large print, where
would I look to find a deck? I can't think of what to look under in
the yellow pages. Thanks.

The Lighthouse for the Blind (on W. Dallas) has a gift shop that
undoubtedly carries such items; if they don't, call the Texas Commission
for the Blind for a recommendation.

Start with Walgreens and Eckerd's. They tend to have an older customer
base. I've found large print poker decks in both places.
Good luck

How about calling around to local opticians or places like Lenscrafters,
Pearl Eye-Tech, or other glasses dealers?
