It's my understanding that to cut down on page numbers (and thus the end effect of fewer trees being cut down in the long run), the UK/Canadian version of the book utilises more of the page to enable the fewer pages, ie the print goes deeper into the gutters of the page,etc. Also (and I'm not sure if the UK version does this as well), the Canadian books are printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper so they are considered "ancient forest friendly". When you consider the huge numbers of sales this book generates, every little bit helps!
