<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">DCRM(B) 5B5.2 makes it clear that for pages containing only advertisements, the default is to treat them as copy-specific unless there is definitive evidence that they were printed
as part of the publication text block. Evidence is provided by: integral nature of the adverts to gatherings of text, continuous paging, continuous signatures, or a catchword connecting the adverts to the text. (The last condition will be added to DCRM(B)
the next time it is updated.) <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This stricture also applies to machine-press books in publishers' covers. I'm not sure about 20th-century practices, but in the 19th century, advertisements were added to text
blocks at the binding stage. An excellent illustration of varying adverts can be found by comparing the several digitized copies of An American girl abroad (1872) available from Hathi Trust:
