   There *does* seem to be a modest shift to "manufactured" and     
   "printed" domestically wrt books.   
      
   I should tally that info and see how the trend is progressing.   
      
   Sometimes I shudder and quake in my shoes when I see souvenir     
   products like postcards, fridge magnets, keychains, etc,     
   labelled with my Canadian town, but the small print is "Made in     
   China".  The China labelling just seems wrong, especially for     
   products that you expect to retain as souvenirs of a Canadian     
   visit.
