Books are among the most re-used items out there. Over a books life-span, perhaps a dozen and even up to several hundred read the same copy. That's fairly environmentally decent.

Good point, king. I wonder what the stats are on toilet paper? LOL
I'm keen on environmental issues--as I thnk most people are these days--and although books are hugely recycled, I wonder if it would make a bigger difference if we changed the printing methods. As usual, it's the cost that prevents positive change.
I wonder, too, if someone was going to publish my book on glossy, acid-filled paper, would I be able to say no because of the environmental thing?
