On whiteness and paper and books in GR's world

[Mark Kohut]

>From a book called PRINT FOR VICTORY one can learn
that English book publishers used during WW2---by law---one-quarter 
of the paper that they had used in pre-war years....(if a publisher had
had a huge success pre-war, as Macmillan had with Gone with the
Wind, they were allocated more paper!...)....
 
But, books were in huge demand and sold half as well as pre-war or
double printing exxpectations...(yes, this can happen since there were
also rules for saving paper in production and publishers could sell all 
their older books of course....classics were in HUGE demand..)
 
By 1942, the War Office was going through more paper than the next twelve
government ministries, such as PO, Inland Revenue and Board of Trade....
