Wheelwright included a chapter on the permanence of paper, and reasons for its lack thereof. One detail mentioned in the first paragraph was that Wheelwright claimed that The Times of London, and The New York Times and the Sunday Morning Herald newspapers "printed a small number of copies of each issue on permanent paper."  I have never seen an example of one of those newspapers.
