Can someone explain the point of this stamp to me, please?
Why would you take the time to stamp a book with a stamp that informs you that a stamp is forthcoming? That is insane. Why not stamp the page before with a stamp that says, “Warning stamp warning of a stamp on next page”?
You know how when you drive long distances you’ll see a road sign that says such and such a city is 100 miles away? This stamp would be like a road sign that says, “Road sign coming up.”
And thank god I was warned. Nothing like the shock of seeing an unexpected stamp. Goodness, oh my dear, I hate to think what I may have done if I’d come upon the stamp unexpectedly. Probably I would have shot myself in surprise.
