Sorry, but I just confirmed with my friends over there. Porter Square
Books uses a numerical system, and some of the numbers are printed on
the labels, but it has nothing to do with Dewey whatsoever. Flickr
photos confirm it can't be.

The guy over there didn't know where it came from. I'm guessing it's
BISAC ultimately.
