This is interesting. I was sure I'd read something in
one of our Ottawa papers saying the Raincoast books
editions were being printed on recycled paper. IIRC,
the article gave the impression that Raincoast was the
only publisher doing this. Must make a trip out to my
recycle bin after work and see if I still have the
article somewhere.
