The Remaining Effects of the Pandemic

The final pre-print preparations are being made for custom editions of the Refreshed ASV, but there is more to share in full transparency with our readers. As one of our print partners shared with us recently:

Though the pandemic seems to be behind us, the effects of it remain.

Throughout the pandemic, we have been working closely with our publishing partners and vendors. There has been significant worldwide impacts which constrained partners and vendors into implementing a variety of price increases ranging from 30-50%, implementing production schedule increases from 20-300%, and implementing transportation schedule increases by 25-100%.

As much as the global publishing industry has been working hard to return to the previous normal, the ongoing impacts throughout the industry include:

• Disruptions in supplies of paper, ink, binding materials, and cover materials

• Disruptions in production staffing levels

• Disruptions in production schedules

• Disruptions in shipping schedules

• Disruptions due to industry consolidation which reduce a variety of alternatives

• Cost increases due to the constraints of supply and demand

• Cost increases for labor and material

• Cost increases for postage and freight

So what does this mean for the Refreshed ASV? Please know we have unceasingly striven to maintain the lowest cost structure possible, without sacrificing the quality and service you have come to enjoy, and without limiting our future edition road map intended to meet the physical needs of readers with visual impairments (more on this topic is coming in the future).
