Book manufacturing supply chain

China is not the only book printer: there's LEGO Spa in Italy, Clays (and a few others) in the UK, as well as a few in the states.

That's why I wrote "Even then, I would guess most printers and binders source materials in China. " and used the phrase "supply chain", not "printer".

There are very few western manufacturers that are isolated entirely from this. You only need one part of your product to come from China and that can stop production.

(Edit: Paper, boards, cloth, adhesives, thread, ink, foil, laminates just as consumables off the top of my head)

Isn’t the deluxe edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (and a couple other works) scheduled for March? Anyone has any update on it?

HC have confirmed via email that they are working on "The deluxe edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" but when I asked them in person denied it.

We have to wait and see, but I think you are right about the deluxe edition

I think it will be at about the same time as The Green Knight movie is announced and/or released
