A quick look through my bookshelf reveals the following from some fairly
prestigious sources:
O'Reilly's books have the following on the copyright page:
[recycled logo]
"This book is printed on acid-free paper with 85% recycled content, 15%
post-consumer waste. O'Reilly & Associates is committed to using paper with
the highest recycled content available consitent with high quality."
My _MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers_ says simply: "Printed on
recycled, acid-free paper."
Take care,
Scott
