Have you noticed the precipitous drop in toilet paper prices within, say, 3 months? $23 to $15 for same order.
Have you tried to sell old books that are not 'rare"?
Seems books with paper are not worth the shit they can remove---Word!
The Rest of the Story: paper prices have dropped maybe over 30% since late last year.
Oil prices--needed to make t.p.--have fallen since last year.
There is almost no export market to t.p.--only Canada, then Mexico a distant second, then
the Phillipines a distant third---shit lovally, wipe locally.
ebooks now outsell printed books in the UK..The US is gaining fast on that ratio.
Perfect shit storm.
