China?              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.              --       gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken       --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux        * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (1:123/115)       SEEN-BY: 1/21 120 3/1 18/0 80/1 88/0 90/1 92/0 1 123/0 115 3001 153/757       SEEN-BY: 221/6 222/2 229/114 426 240/1120 250/1 301/1 460/58 712/848       SEEN-BY: 712/1321 900/108 902/19 25 26 27 920/0 1 69 2320/105 3634/0       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 56 57 5020/1042       PATH: 123/115 3634/12 153/757 92/1 90/1 229/426       /    |
