Remainder Marks?
Did publishers remainder mark paperbacks from the '50's???
I'm looking at Clarke 1958 The Deep Range, Signet 1st ed. with what looks like red/orange remainder spray on the bottom only. |

This seems unlikely. Book dealers I knew in the 1960s told me those publishers with any credit system for remainders required that cover pages be torn off and returned (but few publishers offered credit for unsold paperbacks.) -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Yes, I had forgotten about the torn off covers, but I have seen quite a few. It makes the modern remainder mark look quite innocuous. Francis A. Miniter |

So, paperbacks sometimes came with dyed text block? |

Thanks, I have since confirmed that it was practiced in the 50's. |
