Although this publication is around four-decades old, it still forms one of the best primers for the paper, paperboard and pulp industry. It was written primarily for new entrants into the industry; however, it was also assumed those already working in the industry or with some experience of it should find valuable information on aspects with which they may not be familiar, and possibly a new insight into operations principles and developments in their own branch. In addition, technologists in other industries, in education, or in local or national Government and many other fields, who require an introduction to the subject or to extend their existing knowledge, were also expected to find the book of great help.
