   This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28,
1999 (the "Schedule 14D-1") relating to an offer by Atlanta Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgia-
Pacific Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"),
of Unisource Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a
price of $12.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,
dated May 28, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies of which were attached as
exhibits to the Schedule 14D-1.

Item 10. Additional Information.

   (a) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety
the first paragraph under "THE OFFER--Section 2. Acceptance for Payment and
Payment for Shares" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:

   2. Acceptance for Payment and Payment for Shares

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if
   the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such
   extension or amendment), Purchaser will accept for payment, and will pay for,
   all Shares validly tendered prior to the Expiration Date and not properly
   withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date promptly after the later to occur of
   (i) the Expiration Date or (ii) the expiration or termination of any
   applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. Subject to applicable rules of
   the Commission, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay acceptance
   for payment of, or payment for, Shares pending receipt of any regulatory
   approvals specified in Section 15 or in order to comply in whole or in part
   with any other applicable law.

   (b) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending the table under "THE OFFER--
Section 7. Certain Information Concerning the Company--Certain Projections" in
the Offer to Purchase as follows:

        Gross Profit under Fiscal Year Ended 9/30/00 Plan should read $1,271.

   (c) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety
the second paragraph under "THE OFFER--Section 7. Certain Information
Concerning the Company--Certain Projections" in the Offer to Purchase as
follows:

        The projections are included by Purchaser in this Offer to Purchase
   solely because such information was furnished to Parent and Purchaser by the
   Company. None of Parent, Purchaser, Wasserstein Perella, DLJ or any other
   party to whom the projections were provided assumes any responsibility for
   the validity, reasonableness, accuracy or completeness of the projections.
   The projections were not prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles and were not audited or reviewed by any independent
   accounting firm. The projections are based on a variety of assumptions
   relating to the businesses of the Company, industry performance, general
   business and economic conditions and other matters which are inherently
   subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are
   beyond the Company's control. Actual future results may vary materially from
   those shown in the projections. None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company,
   Wasserstein Perella, DLJ or any other party is under any obligation to or has
   any intention to update the projections at any future time.

   (d) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by including as the penultimate paragraph
under "THE OFFER--Section 7. Certain Information Concerning the Company--
Certain Projections" in the Offer to Purchase the following:

        The 1999 projections assume blended average pricing declines of
   approximately 5% from 1998 levels. Base volume declines of approximately 2.5%
   are estimated in 1999 due primarily to restructuring initiatives. The
   projections also reflect the impact of lost business at the Company's
   Websource division and assume divestiture of its Mexican operations and other
   non-core operations in the second half of 1999. The 2000 and 2001 projections
   assume year-over-year average price increases of 3% and 1%, respectively, and
   base volume increases of approximately 4% and 3%, respectively. The
   projections also assume operating expense

                                       2

  savings from the Company's restructuring program of approximately $50
  million in 1999, $90 million in 2000 and $110 million in 2001. The
  consolidation of the Company's purchasing programs is expected to result by
  2001 in annual reductions in procurement costs of over $40 million from
  1998 levels. Approximately $3 million and $30 million of procurement
  savings are assumed in 1999 and 2000, respectively.

   (e) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety
the seventh paragraph under "THE OFFER--Section 10. Background of the Offer;
Contacts with the Company; the Merger Agreement" in the Offer to Purchase as
follows:

       On May 7, 1999, Mr. Mundt received a letter from Mr. Correll in which Mr.
  Correll proposed that Parent acquire the Company at a price of $12.00 per
  Share in cash pursuant to a merger transaction. Attached to Parent's
  proposal letter was a draft of the Merger Agreement prepared by Parent and
  its counsel. Later on May 7, 1999, as required by the terms of the UGI
  Agreement, the Company notified UGI of its receipt of Parent's proposal.
  Based upon the closing price of UGI common stock on May 7, 1999 (the last
  full trading day prior to the public announcement of Parent's proposal to
  acquire the Company), holders of Shares would have received $10.08 per
  Share had the transactions contemplated by the UGI Agreement been
  consummated on May 7, 1999, as compared to $11.50 per Share based upon the
  closing price of UGI common stock on February 26, 1999 (the last full
  trading day prior to the public announcement that the Company and UGI had
  entered into the UGI Agreement) had the transactions contemplated by the
  UGI Agreement been consummated on February 26, 1999.

   (f) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety
the second paragraph under "THE OFFER--Section 12. Dividends and
Distributions" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:

       If, on or after May 25, 1999, the Company should declare, set aside or
  pay any dividend on the Shares or make any other distribution (whether in
  cash, stock or property or any combination thereof) with respect to the
  Shares that is payable or distributable to stockholders of record on a date
  prior to the transfer to the name of Purchaser or its nominee or transferee
  on the Company's stock transfer records of the Shares purchased pursuant to
  the Offer (other than regular quarterly cash dividends with usual record
  and payment dates in accordance with past dividend practice and in an
  amount not in excess of $.05 per Share) then, without prejudice to
  Purchaser's rights under Section 14, (i) the purchase price per Share
  payable by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer will be reduced to the extent
  any such dividend or distribution is payable in cash and, in accordance
  with Rule 14e-1(b) of the Exchange Act, the Offer will remain open for an
  additional ten business days from the date that notice of such reduction is
  first published or provided to holders of Shares, and (ii) any non-cash
  dividend, distribution or right shall be received and held by the tendering
  stockholder for the account of Purchaser and will be required to be
  promptly remitted and transferred by each tendering stockholder to the
  Depositary for the account of Purchaser, accompanied by appropriate
  documentation of transfer. Pending such remittance and subject to
  applicable law, Purchaser will be entitled to all the rights and privileges
  as owner of any such non-cash dividend, distribution or right and may
  withhold the entire purchase price or deduct from the purchase price the
  amount or value thereof, as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion.

   (g) Item 10(f) is hereby amended by amending and restating in its entirety
the first paragraph under "THE OFFER--Section 14. Certain Conditions of the
Offer" in the Offer to Purchase as follows:

   14. Certain Conditions of the Offer

        Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer but subject to
  compliance with the other provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Merger
  Agreement provides that Purchaser is not required to accept for payment or
  pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, and may terminate or
  amend the Offer in accordance with the Merger Agreement and may extend the
  period for acceptance for payment of and payment for Shares tendered, if
  (i) prior to acceptance for payment of the Shares the Minimum Condition has
  not been satisfied, (ii) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act
  has not expired or been terminated prior to the expiration of the Offer, or
  (iii) at any time on or after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to
  the Expiration Date, and prior to the acceptance for payment of Shares, any
  of the following conditions exist and remain in effect:
