What is “Roy Use Only” in the book titles?
date
newest »


WorldCat listings for these books don't have "Roy" in the title.
I have no idea what the "Roy" suffix means, but I'm guessing it's jargon for that publishing house. I think you're safe to delete it from those titles you find it in.

Search shows that lots of the book titles are spoiled with it, and it’s duplicated all over the Internet.
Does it have some special meaning which is not clear to me as a non-native speaker, or it’s simply just some guy named Roy who intentionally marks his books this way, and I should remove this suffix from the book titles?
