Paper mills have come and gone as well as brand names, colors, textures and finishes within brands. I've always considered it part of my job to update specifiers with changes and recycle outdated swatch books so they don't specify a paper that is unavailable. (This can be tough when they've already sold the client on a particular stock!)
With frequent mill consolidation in the last 5-6 years, and sadly a few mill closures, change always seems around the bend, but even so there was a big one recently with our Text, Cover and Writing partner Wausau Paper.
Though Mac Papers is still your source to purchase, now if you need Astrobrights, Astroparche, Royal Fiber, Royal Linen, Wausau Bright White or Exact papers they will be manufactured and marketed by Neenah Paper. More info here.
Once I have updated swatch book information I'll post. In the meantime, it's best to call before you specify.
