The USA Today bestselling and Edgar Award-winning author of Never Look Back and If I Die Tonight plumbs the dark side of justice and the depths of diabolical revenge in this propulsive novel of psychological suspense that melds the driving narrative of Then She Was Gone with the breathtaking twists of The Chain and the violent fury of Kill Bill. "Alison Gaylin's The Collective is an astonishing feat. In the tradition of Ira Levin's unforgettable social thrillers (Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives), it's a nerve-shredding, emotionally harrowing ride that also speaks volumes about our current moment, the dangers of our digital world, the potency of female rage. Don't miss it." --Megan Abbott Just how far will a grieving mother go to right a tragic wrong? Camille Gardener is a grieving--and angry--mother who, five years after her daughter's death, is still obsessed with the privileged young man she believes to be responsible. When her rash actions draw the attention of a secret group of women--the collective-- Camille is drawn into a dark web where these mothers share their wildly different stories of loss as well as their desire for justice in a world where privilege denies accountability. Fueled by mutual rage, the collective members devise and act out retribution fantasies via precise, anonymous, highly coordinated revenge killings. As Camille struggles to comprehend whether this is a role-playing exercise or terrifying reality, she must decide if these women are truly avenging angels or monsters. Becoming more deeply enmeshed in the group, Camille learns truths about the collective--and about herself--that she may not be able to survive.

Around 450 books come from 1 tree, according to various reliable academic sources. This means each book shared and not bought, saves .002 trees from being cut. A book shipped also typically results in the use of 1 plastic bag.
Estimating the number of books that can be made from one tree depends on several factors, including the type of tree, its size, the paper quality and thickness used for the books, and the size of the books themselves. Here's an analysis using some typical values.
Tree Yield for Paper: A mature tree, often a pine or a similar species used for paper production, can yield about 80 cubic feet of wood. This amount can vary based on the type and size of the tree.
Paper Production: On average, a single tree can produce about 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of paper. The exact amount depends on the efficiency of the pulping process and the type of paper being produced.
Paper in Books: The amount of paper used in a book varies widely based on the size of the book, the thickness of the paper, and the number of pages. For a rough estimate, let's consider a typical paperback novel with around 300 pages, with each page weighing approximately 5 grams.
Now, let's calculate how many such books could be made from one tree by:
Converting the paper yield per tree (1,000-2,000 pounds) to grams.
Calculating the total weight of paper used in one book (300 pages × 5 grams per page).
Dividing the total paper yield from the tree by the paper used per book.
Based on these estimates, one tree can produce approximately:
303 books on the lower end of the estimate.
605 books on the higher end of the estimate.
These figures are rough estimates. The actual number of books that can be made from a single tree will vary depending on the specific characteristics of the tree, the type of paper used, and the size and page count of the books.
We are taking 450 as the average number of books produced from 1 tree.
