Salzmank - Re "Last Page"
If we imagine the New York of the late 30s, the customer could be a German agent contacting his cell contained within the American Bund. The last page ripped from a number of books could be a signal for a preordained meet between members to discuss a forthcoming sabotage operation. Not mentioned in the script, but a $20 receipt would be attached to the books to further authenticate the "message".
An absolutely brilliant idea, Al.
And it need not even be the Bund, but rather any secret organization.
And those silly guests on Author! Author! (and I) never even thought of it...
