Description

Understanding paper, from beginning to end, is the subject here. The text begins with discussions on the forest -- how we harvest it, how much of it we have, and why it is necessary to understand the problems associated with it. Next is the basic understanding of the technology of papermaking, separating the fiber from the wood and weaving it into paper for printing. There is discussion on how to buy paper and how to make the best use of it. The chapter "Paper Metrics" is an introduction to the new way of designating paper, with a table showing each grade and weight for a quick substitution reference. Information, without specific recommendation, is given regarding job lot paper. The last chapter covers conservation of our natural resources, concern for the environment, and recycling of paper after it has served its initial purpose.
