Three sincere cheers all around. But ...Remarkable. Three sincere cheers all around. But one of teh problems is stil lthat too many books are being printed by the publishing houses, with hopes that they will be sold and when they become remainders that is still a lot of dead trees. When our book loving communities start demanding the print of only the stories they want, we may see a shift. Books that get passed arond, ratty bent pages, wrinkled covers, these are the stories that last. Think of all the hands that held a the well-read copy you dig out of the library book sale bin.

I live on this wonderful island and it is being decimated by the woodchippers. They are also hoping to build one of the biggest pulp mills in the world here in a beautiful part of the Tamar Valley.
