As we know, newspapers can be used for a whole lot of things around the house. But they're so unruly and hard to grab. Here's an idea - open a few days' papers out on your kitchen table, use scissors to cut them into fourths, "roll" the pack of now-same-size pieces in half, insert into a large cereal box. You can pull out a sheet or two from the middle and they almost dispense as well as tissues.

I noticed some of those Christmas boxes I bought were just the right size for newspapers. I store newspapers for use with my pets, etc. It looks pretty and I get to see the box all year!

Years ago, at our public library, I checked out a book entitled, "The Newspaper Everything Book". I believe it's now out of print and I cannot locate a copy anywhere. Does anyone have this book they'd be willing to sell, or know where I can purchase a copy? TNX Blessings.

Try a company called "Better World Books". Google them, and go to their site. I have used them, and they are excellent. They sell used books, and also donate books to Africa.
