Aye, but it seems to be all Xylem and not enough Phloem, innit?

Sounds like pulp fiction.

and sticky notes since 1977!

I’d be a pissed tree if they made me into one of those books everyone buys but no one likes

Paper back then was made of a lot of things but it wasn’t wood pulp. Mostly plant fiber like linen and cotton.

Wood pulp for paper is a mostly late 19th century development.

That’s why 500 year old books are usually in better condition than 50 year old books these days. Google “slow fire library”

Argh!! It’s A.D. 868, not 868 A.D. Why, why, why, do otherwise reasonably educated English speakers so often make this error?

Thank you. I like yours way, way better!
