Interesting note on the fancy paper market. I know a couple of mid-20s girls who fetishise handmade paper, watermarks and letterpressing.
Seems a lot like the continuing popularity of vinyl - when all content is available digitally people still want to collect some kind of physical object.
The only paper I've bought recently is fancy writing paper for writing a few letters to friends back home (mainly as a novelty - something to hang onto for years as I know our e-mails will be lost eventually), and I also own vinyl I never listen to (although I do listen to the MP3 versions I have).
