Episode #327: Inventory Management with Lianna Izzo!
Grace and Alvina continue their Publishing Curriculum series and welcome special guest Lianna Izzo, to talk about inventory management! They cover everything from what is entailed with evaluating how many books to print, as well as the supply and demand of books, and which departments Lianna works with the most. They talk about the difference between books printed overseas vs domestic printing, and what happens at the end of a book's life.
For the Fortune Cookie segment, they share their favorite ways to eat Thanksgiving leftovers, and they end as always with what they're grateful for.
