Cardboard & consolidation: even before tariffs & trade wars, books got harder to print than ever

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered who is in charge of making a book--like, the physical object? Danny Adlerman has helped to create at least 10,000 printed books over the course of his 40+-year career in book production, and he can tell you STORIES. In this episode, Stacy talks with Danny about the basics of book production: how the technology to make a book has changed in his career, how that affects the art of making a physical book, and how corporate retooling and consolidation, before we even start talking about tariffs and trade wars, have affected the cost of book paper and its availability to book publishers. Danny knows ALL the deets. Come along with us to get smart about book production.
