abstract = "Until not much more than a century ago, most reading matter was made from old rags, and much of it went on to be recycled in turn. Newspapers were handed down a chain of households as their contents staled: letters were torn to light a pipe, broadsheets pieced out dress patterns or lined pie-plates or wiped shit.
