    This is so kind of you Elle! What a perfect storm of mess to the book industry 📚

    I've only seen that there IS a shortage not why, and how it affects us buying books in the foreseeable future so I'm happy you made this video

    You are adorable and very sweet! I really appreciate you taking the time to clear up the shortage issue. I also worked retail for years and that’s why I hated the holidays for so long. I saw the true colors of so many and it was sad. During a time when people are supposed to be extra nice and appreciative of each other, they would completely forget the meaning of the holidays. I support your comments about being nice to retail folk! ❤️

    Hopefully people will be able to make use of second hand bookstores as well as get the books they want for the holidays!📚📖

    Thanks for all of the information. It's nice to have a daunting TBR pile just in case the shortage makes it difficult to grab something. I work for FedEx and listen to you (can't watch, I'm driving) every single day.
    "Hi guys." Is how I know my day is going to go well. 📖

    nothing beats the feeling of a preorder. that anticipation almost hurts but finally getting the book in the mail and getting to spend all day reading is something so special! 📚 📖

    I have long admired your generosity both on your own channel with the giving tags, etc. and with WorldHoppers. You are such a kind person and I try to emulate that giving spirit when I’m able! 📚

    📖I mostly buy used, but have pre-ordered on Kindle before because getting access to English books isn't always a given. Very lovely of you to give back to the community like this. 💖✨

  • @sirens990
    @sirens990 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    As someone who has worked in supply chain for the past 7 years, thank you for talking about this. I wish more people realized that things like this are concerning and the issues are spread across multiple industries. 📚

  • @christinacarolins.6303
    @christinacarolins.6303 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I read an article about this topic just last week and was so shocked to read that it's not only the paper, but also cardboard for hardbacks, glue and lots of other supplies that are needed for the production of a book. 📚 And apparently the problem will continue to exist well into the new year.
    I can only imagine how hard this is for authors. So pre-orders do really seem like a great idea to support them and the industry.
    I think one of the only upsides of this pandemic is the upward trend in the buying behavior towards books. Numbers seem to be up, which in itself is really positive. 🙂📚

  • @dgdavis33
    @dgdavis33 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for your amazingly well informed and detailed video. I will definitely be keeping this in mind for my 📚 purchases this year. This is such a selfless blessing that you are giving to someone. May these blessings return to you ten fold 💜

  • @Aaren6

  • @brianavsshark

    Thank you for bringing this shortage to light - from the comments, not many of us knew this was going on. Thank you for thinking of us and the book community! 📚

  • @natcommon
    @natcommon 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Through work, I’ve seen this disruption really since the pandemic started. I purchase materials for the YA section of the library and I’ve seen so many dates pushed back, items take months and months to ship (even with some preorders) and many books consistently on back order. Manga has been the most affected because the popularity of manga has skyrocketed within the last year and a half and because of these shortages, publishing companies like Yen Press and Kondansha can’t keep up with the demand. It’s said but it will get better down the road.

  • @peytoncone3288
    @peytoncone3288 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s really cool how you made a video talking about the shortage. This is a great excuse to finally pre-order all the books I’ve been wanting to. 📚

  • @Kissmyasthma16
    @Kissmyasthma16 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow! I had no idea. It makes sense now why so many of my books for my YA lit class were backordered. Thanks for the info📚

  • @caitcoy
    @caitcoy 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's interesting to hear some of the supply chain shortages that I hadn't known about. I know when I was working at B&N earlier this year, they were worried about the plastic bag shortage since many customers don't bring in their own bags. And appreciate you mentioning being nice to retail people, the holiday season can get really stressful when people don't remember to be empathetic. ❤️️📚

  • @jamamaples9967
    @jamamaples9967 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    📚📚Oh wow! I actually did not realize there was a book shortage! 😬 I live and travel in an RV Fulltime, so I have had to purchase ebooks for the past couple of years. Which is a bummer because I do prefer a real book vs. an ebook. I hope things get better soon! Thanks for letting us know!

  • @michaelfeeney6108
    @michaelfeeney6108 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @nathalieenys
    @nathalieenys 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a lovely idea Elliot. I get my books second hand which is great for classics but I always feel bad when they are newer books but I can’t really afford to buy new right now so this is very sweet and thoughtful xx 📚

  • @booksandtoox2978

    Another thing is a lot of people are starting to read more which is great... but it's annoying when you find the book you want being sold for an exponential amount compared to retail pricing.
    But thanks Elle for shedding a little more light on this issue! 📚

  • @mikouf9691
    @mikouf9691 3 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @geebb7321
    @geebb7321 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is new booktube content to me. Thank you for the info. We all know that if the demand is higher, the supply decreases. This is not new but it's the 1st time I heard about books. Honestly, I don't do pre-orders much since books are costly in my country. The only way I could help about the supply shortage is to buy 2nd hand or remaindered for old books (it's a minus for the author tho) and buy the brand new ones that I really, truly wanted 📖📚

  • @yyuna7
    @yyuna7 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Didn't know this was happening! Probably one of the reasons so many popular manga series haven't got a reprint out yet?
    I usually wait until the books are out and the prices drop, but recently I preordered a few books myself ~📚

    Thanks for the concise explanation. I would have never have checked it out on Twitter. I just don't go in there anymore. I really don't have that many books in my pre-order list so I didn't really think it was this bad. But if so I'll just start pre-ordering and waiting patiently for my 📚.

    As someone who works in supply chain this is not limited to books. The holidays are going to be rough.
    Get your holiday presents shipped now. Even domestic shipments are backlogged (this includes UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.). So keep that in mind, be patient and be kind!
