One has to raise the question "what paper?".

For one of my parishes transcripts of the registers up until the early 
C18th were published in a couple of volumes about 1900.  The last price 
I had for the pair was £195.  So what I actually use is a pair of PDFs 
published at archive.org and Google books.  So my "paper" is entirely 
electronic.
