In this segment, we give you a peek behind
the scenes at Paper World by interviewing some of our staff on
the ins-and-outs of the old paper biz. This issue we’ll hear
from Jeff.
Name: Jeff
Role at Paper World: Newspaper restoration
and preparation
Year started at Paper World: 2005
Favourite Newspaper: I quite like The Star
for no other reason than it is green in colour and
no other papers (bar the Age’s Green Guide) are
green! It’s a rarity among our papers. |
 |

It was a great little
afternoon pictorial published by Melbourne’s Argus
between 1933 and 1936.
Reporting of the lead up to the start of WWII is
also fascinating. One headline in 1939 read, “Peace
On The Horizon – Chamberlain visits Germany” Little
did they know. Food rationing in the UK after the
war was also eye-opening.
Favourite Magazine: I’d have to say National
Geographic because they do excellent historical
trails of civilizations like the Vikings. But they
also show up the attitudes and beliefs of the times
they were printed in. I think magazines by their
nature (e.g. lots of photos) really show up the
times more than the papers do.
Favourite Presentation Product: A
personalized inscription adds a nice touch and is
reasonably priced.
Most underrated product: Our mounted and
framed car ads are a nice piece to hang on a wall
but it’s a shame because most customers focus on the
papers (These were withdrawn from sale in April –
ed.).
Most interesting query/ unusual order from a
customer: I think we got an order from Bec
Cartwright to Lleyton Hewitt once. The star factor
is always interesting.

Customers often give feedback about our service via
telephone, email and even the occasional letter. Here
is a recent selection we’re particularly proud of:
Hello and thank you - the order arrived at my parents'
house this morning and I just happened to be on the
phone to them at the time it was delivered.
They were surprised and delighted with the present.
Thank you very much for your help when I was ordering
it last week, and for your prompt and efficient
service.
Regards,
Penny
Dear PaperWorld,
I received my paper this morning and just want to tell
you how thrilled I am with it. The presentation is
beautiful and I can’t wait to see my mothers face when
she opens it for her 70th birthday in October.
Regards,
Kerrie
