Book retailers throughout the country are informing us that there is a shortage of books. The lack of physical books comes from a culmination of issues. "The pandemic has unleashed an extraordinary amount of reading and buying of books," Barnes & Noble CEO James Daunt told Today on September 14th. However, he predicts the surge in sales could lead to supplies running tight during the holidays. According to Mr. Daunt, the biggest "problem comes as we get closer … to Christmas when some books are selling a bit more than we expect." This level of buying complicates matters, "because the capacity for reprint is limited." If you or your loved ones want books to cozy up with during the holiday season, Daunt says you don't have to panic purchase a deluge of titles. However, he does advise that you buy the books you want sooner than you normally would.
