Be careful, If you read a lot of books,tree huggers will come out against you because you are killing the trees.I do not sweat the small stuff.

I wonder if the shelves would be mighty empty because there is not much made here in the USA.

Watching "Shark Tank", one of the sharks (Mr. Wonderful) encouraged many inventors to move their plants to China, but most rejected that thought...
In our hometown as I'm sure many TOTV'rs noticed, many furniture plants moved to China, which makes buying American very difficult. It's all about the bottom dollar, isn't it!?

If you google, made in the USA, several websites come up where you can buy anything from clothes, toys, tools, linens, etc

Here's an interesting article that says that most Chinese are willing to pay more for the "Made in the USA" label because of the better quaility of the products.

Made in America:
Furniture Made in the USA


Orlando Florida Furniture Store, Shop for Home and Office Furniture

Hudson's Furniture - Made In America - Tampa, St Petersburg, Orlando, Ormond Beach

This just a few. A Google search resulted in many more. It's out there if one wants to take the time look. More opportunities than you think.

If anyone remembers talk show host Bruce Williams, he now has returned to the air and only accepts sponsers whose products are made in the USA.
check him out...BruceWilliams.com Made in America Network.
He also has an online catalogue.

I listened to Bruce Williams in the 80s and 90s and found his show fascinating and informative. I thought he might have died, so if he is coming back on the air that is very exciting.

It would be a very small store!! There are alot of items that are assembled in American but the parts are made overseas. That is what WalMart tried to do by saying all their products were from the USA but actually only assembled here with foreign parts!!

..Do not know about all books.
...However, some close friends of ours are publishers.
.......100% of the books they publish are made elsewhere.
Artwork, copy, binding..the whole 9 yards. Most are books about
the USA and people and places of the USA.

Inside cover and/or jacket will have disclosure of publishing location.
Or at least are supposed to disclose.

I probably wouldn't be able to shop and an all American made store.
