[book] pulping / recycling Explanation: Each year thousands of unsold books and magazines are pulped – simply too many have been printed. - http://www.starburstprinting.com/print-on-demand.php A stripped book is a mass market paperback that has been stripped of its cover in order to be pulped and recycled as a result of lack of sales - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripped_book -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2011-04-22 10:28:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And when the publisher receives these books back, they grind them up and recycle or otherwise dispose of them in a process known as pulping. ----------------- I was warned by a senior colleague never to use a certain word when telling authors what would happen to their unsold books. The forbidden word was: mulched. |
