Book review or TAYLOR, CHRISTOPHER AND PEREGO, ELISA. THE ROUTLEDGE HANDBOOK OF AUDIO DESCRIPTION. LONDON AND NEW YORK, ROUTLEDGE, 2022, 666 PP., ISBN 978-0367434199

Over the past thirty years, there has been a notable increase in literature and research focused on audio description (AD) for the blind and visually impaired (BVI) audience, with a primary goal of establishing standardised approaches. As stated in the dedication, The Routledge Handbook of Audio Description (2022), edited by Christopher Taylor and Elisa Perego, is the culmination of years of collaborative scholarly effort and interest in this intriguing practice of media accessibility. Due to space constraints, it is impractical to delve into each of the 38 chapters of this handbook. Therefore, in my review I provide a summary and critical discussion of the key topics it addresses.
