At Raincoast Books we are committed to protecting the environment and to the
responsible use of natural resources. We are acting on this commitment by working
with suppliers and printers to phase out our use of paper produced from ancient
forest. This book is one step towards that goal. It is printed on 100% ancient-forest-
free paper (100% post-consumer recycled), processed chlorine- and acid-free, and
supplied by New Leaf Paper. It is printed with vegetable-based inks. For further
information, visit our website at www.raincoast.com. We are working with Markets
Initiative (www.oldgrowthfree.com) on this project.
