The Paper Buyers’ Encyclopedia is referred to by many in the paper and print
industry as the "Bible of the Industry." The newly redesigned Paper Buyers’ Encyclopedia keeps up with
this tradition of excellence and offers the following NEW FEATURES:
FREE Internet edition. The new directory will offer the "Best of Both Worlds," - a print and
Internet Edition. They have both been redesigned and include all of the extended brand information.
The Internet Edition also includes new search features along with the additional information.
Online updating feature. Grade Finders has established a new online updating system that will allow our
mill, converter, and merchant contributors to modify their location and grade information on our paper
buyer guide database online 24/7. After Grade Finders' staff reviews the modifications for accuracy,
the updated information will be available on the Internet Edition in real-time. This is the only system
of its kind and the most accurate information available in the industry.
