Re: Barcodes for Books

Not exactly the same topic, but I got a suggestion awhile ago that kinda
applies.  I was told to get a number stamper and stamp the barcode number in
a couple of places inside the book (we do the back cover, back of the title
page and the margin of page 55--btw, we put the barcode on the front cover
along the spine) that way if the barcode is destroyed it's not too difficult
to find out the number to redo it.
