In his annual State of the Mongoose address, Matthew Sprange threw in this little nugget of economic nationalism:
We also made a promise this year that we would only be printing books in the US – not China, not Thailand, not even Canada, but the good old US of A.
Which has since been changed to:
We also made a promise this year that we would only be printing books in the US. Mongoose is part American, with offices and our main warehouse situated in Ohio and in these times of economic woe, we wanted to do ‘our bit’ to keep our own nations going, rather than feeding the Tiger Economies.
Cowards.
In truth, I didn't know Mongoose even printed books in Canada and had they not decided to pump up the "America First" crowd, I would likely have remained none the wiser. But they did, so screw you, Mongoose! I will continue to not buy any of your products, especially since you lost the distribution rights to CthulhuTech.

Yes but did Mongoose ever publish books in Canada? They said they wouldn't, not that they were stopping.
Not that I really care. I can't say I've ever bought anything they've made anyway.
I suppose that's one interpretation. Seems odd that they would make a point of saying they weren't going to print books in a country they never printed in before. Rather antagonistic for no good purpose.
