   I just checked a random premium book from Nosolorol from my shelf. A Spanish   
   company   
   is listed as the printer and the inner credits identify the book as printed in   
   Spain.   
      
   Boardgames are massively produced in China, though, with some exceptions. I   
   keep   
   thinking of buying this horse-themed board game (Winners Circle) but the only   
   edition   
   worth it is Korean and costs more than a kidney transplant - including the   
   price of   
   having the mafia kidnap a kid and extract his kidney for you.
