Did you read my post on this thread a couple of days ago?

I think stationery paper is cut from bond paper which has different
standard size than cover paper. Same number of pounds doesn't mean
same weight if the standard size differs. A very concise description
is found in the paper making section of Chicago Manual of Style,
which you can probably find a copy in your office or your colleagues
bookshelf, etc. If anyone knows better refs, please let me know.
