i'm wondering if this book has a secret. the last page isn't cut but there are the words tamam shud printed on them. is this on purpose?
some pages look cut with scissors and others ripped apart.
no dates. any clues. another possibly rare book?
printed in great britain by riverside press edinburg.
I once picked up an 1890s book to read.
Flipping through, I noticed over half of the back half was not cut. You could see into them, but not read.
If you look at how they made books, you'd see that they stamped the pages and then folded and cut them. Sometimes they did not get cut.
I'd not call it rare to see a book like this, but it's not fun to try and read!
just looked up taman shud on google. very interesting. spooky. In adelaide australia. a dead body was found with a small piece of paper torn from a book with taman shud writen on it.
apparantly it means. the end.
Taman Shud translates as "The End," which fits the ending of the book.
I meant Tamám Shud, sorry.
