Seems doubtful book was suppressed a hundred years later to save paper after WWII

[edit]

Article currently says: "The novel disappeared from bookshops after World War II and a restriction on the use of paper," with a citation to Ainworth's biographer which I cannot check. Perhaps the source actually says that many minor classic Victorian novels fell out of print due to post-WWII paper shortages, but as given here there is an implication that Rookwood was singled out, which seems ridiculously unlikely.
