Re: Interesing facts on paper quality (hint for a certain publisher)
I wonīt name the publisher, but here is the exact example: this publisher published a heavily illustrated hardback book with 320 pages in 8" x 11" size. The book as it is now uses very crude paper, far worse than Classic. Now, according to this publisher, replacing the crude paper by glossy art paper would have meant an additional cost of ONE USD per BOOK. And this book is printed in the USA. And the above exampel is perfectly corroborated by evidence from Finnish publishers. Or maybe the UK is a place where everything is the opposite of the rest of the world. Maybe.
As for the limited budget per production, why it is that the other companies under Ian Allanīs umbrella, like Midland Publishing, uses the better quality paper like the parent company itself?
And if the crude paper is so good, why do the promotional material of the same companies often use very glossy paper...
