A book I read about books discussed the paper shortage [apocryphal?] that occurred in NYC when the latest Harry Potter book was being published. This led me to think of the paper situation given the first printing of 1.5 million copies of the 900 page My Life, Clinton's memoirs. For more data on what is being printed this year, you can read Bowker's statistical 2003 round up. I can't tell if this press release is the statistical data they have released or of there's a more fleshed-out report somewhere, anyone know?
