Frank comments on reports that 2020 was a great year for book publishing. Book sales were up, and some of them may even have been read. More often than not, Frank muses, they were bought to use as backdrops for Zoom calls.

Thanks Frank - great comments. Yes, those who build the machinery to manufacture books also report increasing sales. As for backgrounds, yes, we bookbinders sometimes just glued beautifully, gold stamped spines onto card boards. It then looked the bookshelves were filled with valuable books. The movie industry loved them.
Interesting, how these days, most lawyers still have their pictures taken in front of bookshelves filled with expensive law books.
