A publisher finds that the novels it prints on cream paper are returned unsold by bookshops less often than those it prints on white -- eleven percent of copies against nineteen. It concludes that printing on cream paper is what reduces returns, and is preparing to move its whole list across to it.

The answer to which one of the following questions would be most helpful in evaluating the publisher's conclusion?

AWere the titles the publisher printed on cream paper the ones it had already expected to sell best before any of them went to press?

BDo other publishers of novels in the same market print more of their list on cream paper than on white, and did they move across to it earlier?

CDoes cream paper cost the publisher more per sheet than the white paper it has been buying until now?

DHow many novels does the publisher bring out in an average year, and has that number been rising or falling?

EWhen readers are shown two copies of the same novel in a bookshop, do they say they prefer the look of the one printed on cream paper to the one printed on white?
