Get your paper back

Sir: Alexandra Artley reported me as saying (`Bookman, spare that tree', 18 March) that I was trying to persuade a major paperback printer to stock recycled paper. Your readers may like to know that Biddles of Guildford, who print all our Green Print paperbacks for us, have now agreed to stock a recycled paper. This means that from now on no publisher of mass market (or other!) paperbacks has any excuse for not using recycled paper: the quality is excellent and the price is extremely competitive.

If we can do it, anyone can. Who will be next?
