"The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has been exacerbating existing problems in the global supply chain for nearly two years now. Add to that pressure a global labor shortage, a paper shortage, the consolidation of the American printing industry, and an increased demand for books from bored stay-at-homers across the US, and you’re faced with what Baehr says is a “perfect storm” of factors to create what some observers are calling a book shortage."

Some old physical books are collectibles. My most recent books have been in audio or digital form based on space along with paper shortage.

COVID responsible for the supply shortage, nah, its because 1/3 of the country is out on strike and the fed has made them eligible for union benefits to stay home while on strike. Where I live pay rates are up over 50% and people still turn up their noses at it.

Those in power resulting in the breaks of the supply chain are going to find they lose the ability to control the commerce pathways society uses to circumvent barriers put in place by them.
