Cutting down trees for books wouldn't be a concern anymore, and hemp is apparently of higher quality than conventional paper.

And before collectors start lamenting about poorer quality and shorter book life-spans, remember this, the first comic artists used only organic inks on cave walls, and some of those are 32 000 years old!
