Trying to find out if there is any specific organizational scheme used for the numbers after the first three in the Dewey Decimal System.

Are you thinking about this?

Yeah, I figured out the general class (first three numbers). They typically have additional numbers after them though.

Trying to make a fake book and want it to look like it is an old library book.

It may be easier to buy an old library book.

Have one coming, but plan to change the title and want the number to be correct.

Might have to hit up a library.

Looked into it some more. Didn't fully consider how Dewey Decimal wasn't public domain :/

Apparently there are more classification  levels but the full system is only made accessible to subscribers.

The first and last bit I should be able to get right at least. Middle I think I'll have to reuse an existing number or make an educated guess.

Have you asked at your local library what the correct classification would be for the book?

Oh. I thought that was a simple way of getting the information without paying for a subscription. Someone didn't agree, I guess.

(I don't usually care about downvotes, but that one seems a bit bizarre! )

Neutralized it.

Some votes are seemingly random, who knows though.

 

Anyways yeah, I'll ask. See what kind of response I get.
