This is the best reason I've seen yet! I still stamp page 89, because that
was the page that was used in my hometown public library when I was a page
there in high school over 40 years ago. It was just habit to use it, I
suppose. However, now that I think about it, it is indeed true that only
the books purchased during my time as librarian here -- 27 years now -- will
be stamped on that page. It really is a good way of immediately telling if
you or a predecessor purchased that book. So I guess I'll continue the
practice and use it as my signature, too!
