SimpleLife Offers Paper Resource Book |
Simplelife Books of California has created a resource tool for anyone who buys or cares about paper. "The Simplelife Guide to Tree-Free, Recycled and Certified Papers" delves into the impact wood based papers have on air, water, soil and wild places, as well as the history of papermaking and a world of non-wood alternative paper sources that exist now and have the potential to greatly reduce our dependence on trees for paper.
The book addresses the general topic of tree-free, recycled and certified papers, explaining the different fiber categories in separate chapters and offering designers and paper specifiers tips on creating more environmentally preferable projects.
There is also a detailed resource list of companies and products, as well as a swatch section including 17 different paper samples, printed in four-color process and individualized for handy reference.
The book was written by Dan Imhoff, a noted expert on environmental issues. For several years, Imhoff has been the principle author of the ECO section of Communication Arts magazine, and has written extensively for numerous other publications.
