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 the book hardbound with actual signatures? Are these by any chance on the first or last pages of each signature?
