marking
1. The process of stamping or writing
identification marks, binding instructions, or
other information, on the side of the board paper
which is eventually glued to the inside of the
board. Marking is done to avoid errors in binding,
or to identify the particular library owning the
book. 2. The individual marks or a colored thread
used by hand- or machine-sewers, collators, or
inspectors, to establish their responsibility for
the work done. (256
