'Treeless' Paper Books from Martel & Munro


Shelf Awareness

Yann Martel and Alice Munro have partnered with sustainable paper advocate Canopy to publish special, signed editions of Life of Pi and Dear Life on "treeless" paper. Quillblog reported the collectors' editions will be printed on the company's straw-based paper, "created from a blend of wheat straw, flax straw, and recycled paper. 
Dubbed Second Harvest Paper, it is made from straw left over after the grain harvest, and its production uses fewer chemicals and less energy and water than traditional paper."
