Green Books Campaign: Seal Intestine Raincoat

As I mentioned in my full review of Seal Intestine Raincoat by Rosie Chard, I received this book as part of Eco-Libris’ Green Books Campaign.  Today you will see over 100 bloggers reviewing over 100 different “green” books.  Here’s what Eco-Libris says of the campaign:

This review is part of the Green Books campaign. Today 100 bloggers are reviewing 100 great books printed in an environmentally friendly way. Our goal is to encourage publishers to get greener and readers to take the environment into consideration when purchasing books. This campaign is organized by Eco-Libris, a  a green company working to green up the book industry by promoting the adoption of green practices, balancing out books by planting trees, and supporting green books. A full list of participating blogs and links to their reviews is available onEco-Libris website.

Seal Intestine Raincoat, is, fittingly, printed on recycle paper.  The paper itself is just as smooth as regular, tree-killing paper.  The cover is a silky black-matte, which I find I have a weakness for in books, despite the fact that the oil from your fingers gets smudges all over it.

Thank you Eco-Libris for including me in your campaign and providing this book.

For more information about the campaign, green books, and green printing, I strongly urge you to visit the Eco-Libris Website.
