The paper in these books ended up for one reason or another on the scrap market at a high-volume paper recycler, where there was a small chance it would be bought by another printer. More likely it would be shredded and sold (by weight) to a paper mill where it would become the recycled content in a new sheet of paper. We captured these sheets at this particular moment in time, while they were available, and made 600 books (200 each with gray, plum, and blue covers) that we will never again be able to reproduce. We had the feeling that by having the paper bound into books we caused a minor disruption in the circulation of paper.
