Found in one of my books, The Arabian Nights, numbers stamped in invisible ink. I originally assumed they were some sort of quality mark, but I’ve checked my other books by that publisher and not a single one has the same markings so I am not sure anymore. The three numbers found are 5, 3 and 1. Each number is within a circle and most are on the right page stamped on or near the page number. The page number being center page at the bottom of each page.
I have a good feeling these have a boring and simple explanation, I still like to think there’s more to them. Makes the book more interesting in my opinion. Anyone have an explanation?
Is this an old library book?
Is the book hardbound with actual signatures? Are these by any chance on the first or last pages of each signature?
Why were you pissing on your books to begin with?
Is there a consistent number of pages between marks? It looks like a qc stamp for manufacturing.
Did you scan every other book you own? Cuz that’s what i would do.
So what is on page 531?
Or on page 5, 3 line, first word?
Nothing that stands out but I like the way you’re thinking
Treasure hunt!!
