Explanation:
[STC002023] A yearly custom that began during World War II, the Christmas Book Flood is also known as the Jolabokaflod in Icelandic. Both names refer to the same event. Because paper was one of the few imports that wasn’t tightly regulated during that time period, books were an inexpensive and convenient go-to gift option. The majority of Icelanders still buy large quantities of books as gifts for one another today, and they take great pleasure in the tradition of unwrapping those books on the 24th of December. This allows them to spend the evening before Christmas reading, preferably in a warm and inviting nook with some chocolate to snack on. The Icelandic publishing industry goes all out for the holiday season. They release the majority of new titles in the months leading up to Christmas, flood the market with books everywhere from bookstores to supermarkets, and send the Bokatidindi, a catalog listing new releases, to each and every family. Even though the majority of books are produced and sold around the end of the year, more books are read and published in Iceland than in any other country on a per capita basis, and one out of every ten Icelanders is themself a published author.
