The great book shortage of 2021, explained - Vox

Today Panzer made a trip to the Vox site. There he found some information about the ongoing supply chain problems and books. Panzer has been telling you for months about these problems.
 
According to the post by Constance Grady, supply chain problems for books can be broken down into four major parts. The first is people are reading more as a hobby and for pleasure now. The second is it's costing more to print books, if the printer can even get the paper and ink to print them. The third is it's costing more to ship the books, if drivers can be found. The fourth is it's costing more for labor, if the employees can be found. Ultimately, it looks like the supply chain problems for books are here to stay until some time in 2022.

There are ways around everything.
 
Panzer says, "Can't find a printed book? Buy ebooks. Electrons are everywhere."

Note: This is a long, long post. Bring a pitcher of tea, two muffins, a cupcake, and a brownie for today's reading selection.
