I was specifically thinking of the library of congress categorizations printed in with the copyright info.  It seems to me that, with however many books there are being printed, there's got to be a small government office somewhere devoted entirely to that, full of people judging books by their covers* and laying down a small portion of the law over any and all books.

*someday I'll start a website that is devoted entirely to judging books by their covers.  Perhaps expanding into judging CDs by theirs, or movies by their trailers.

bets it's already out there
