The author of the largest selling fiction book in history, J.K. Rowling expressed her own endorsement of Raincoast Book's decision to publish Potter's latest adventure on ancient forest-friendly paper.

"The forest at Hogwarts is home to magical creatures like unicorns and centaurs," Rowling writes in an endorsement that appears prominently in the Canadian edition.

The paper used in the books printed by Raincoast was produced by San Francisco-based New Leaf Paper.
