Sometimes the publisher printed too many copies, in other cases bookstores purchased too many copies and have returned them to the publisher for credit. The books therefore have been handled a few times but are still in excellent condition. In either case, the publisher may place a mark on the edge of the book to identify it as a Bargain Book.
