papyreus
Ancient writing-paper dat was so tinder-dry and flammable dat it would super-readily combust at da slightest hint of flame or overheating.
If Colonel Vogel should indeed "try reading books instead of burning them", then he'd better hurry up and get perusing --- and refrain from pipe-puffin' or other flame-based activities while doing so --- if there are any papyreus documents among da regular wood-fiber-based tomes under discussion!
Get the papyreus mug.
