Re: Remainder marks
Remainder marks vary from publisher to publisher. Some spray a speckled paint on the end of the pages, some put a stamp on one of the pages, some just mark the ends with a sharpie.
Whatever the mark is, it devalues the book, as it is no longer Fine condition, even though the book is otherwise perfect. Same with previous owner's stamps etc.

Re: Remainder marks
Remainder marks are look like random dots or streaks from a black or colored magic marker.The purpose of the remainder mark is when a store does not sell a book they mark the bottom or top edges.After putting remainder mark the books are sent to the distributors and then distributor will resell them.
