They're actually not that big. If you type the dots 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 altogether on the braille typewriter, when you read, your index finger can read the whole thing by itself.
Oh, and another thing: if you are talking about the whole book itself, if you imagine a text book, there would be massive amounts of pages! They have to type it out in volumes, rather than put the whole thing together. Can you imagine carrying the whole book around at schools all over the place? That would be impossible! Now, if you talk about a small book, let's say, like a children's book, it could still get up to 10 pages in braille! The reason for this is that braille takes up a lot more space than normal print. So, now you know somewhat of what braille is.

The dots in braille are typically about 1.5 millimeters (0.06 inches) in diameter. The spacing between the dots is also important for readability, with each braille cell being approximately 2.5 millimeters (0.1 inches) wide and 4.7 millimeters (0.18 inches) tall.
