Black Book Insights, a reshoring and manufacturing advisory firm, announced that The Black Book of Reshoring: The Essential Guide to America's New Manufacturing Boom by founder Douglas Brown debuted at No. 3 on Amazon's Business Development Bestsellers List. Published by Wiley, the book is designed as a practical resource for leaders evaluating where production is moving, how trade and industrial policy are changing business strategy, and what the next era of factory growth means for companies, regions, and global supply networks.

Why it matters

As tariffs, trade exposure, supply-chain instability, geopolitical uncertainty, and the need for stronger domestic and trusted-partner capacity continue to influence business decisions, reshoring has become a central strategic issue across industrial sectors. The book aims to help decision-makers understand the forces driving this shift and act on them with greater clarity.

The details

The Black Book of Reshoring argues that the return of manufacturing should not be treated as a slogan or a passing headline, but as a live economic, operational, and policy challenge that requires better context, sharper judgment, and more actionable insight. Key topics covered in the book include practical frameworks for evaluating reshoring opportunities, case studies on companies like Tesla and Pfizer, analysis of tariffs and supply-chain redesign, and strategic guidance on site selection, factory development, and workforce readiness.

  • The book was published on March 31, 2026.
  • It debuted at No. 3 on Amazon's Business Development Bestsellers List this past week.
