Shelf Awareness
"Just as young audiophiles are returning to LPs and culinary types assert the attraction of 'slow food,' we could very well be witnessing a retro-fueled backlash against the digital tide. It could be more than wishful thinking that the rise of e-books has slowed. Let's call the attraction of ink on paper the 'slow books' movement."

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."
Check out their website for a range of photographs of the brand new store - VERY impressive.
