2 years ago - Covid impact on consumer side: During Covid, bookstores in Germany and Belgium remained open while they were closed in the Netherlands.
- This led to higher book discovery in Germany and Belgium relative to NL
- Consumers in NL stuck to previous preferences
- Covid impact on supply side of book market: some publishers stopped making new deals i.e. accepting new manuscripts. This has an impact on book market quality and variety.
- What would be some supply side metrics? Do we have access to them?
