Mac App Store and Apple Books Experiencing Outage [Update: Fixed]
The Mac App Store and the Apple Books are both having issues at this time, according to Apple's System Status page. There are no specific details on what the outage entails, as Apple only says that some users are experiencing a problem with the services.
