What does the two letter code mean on Harper & Brothers copyright pages?

I collect Edna St. Vincent Millay First Editions, and there is always a two letter "code" like D-O, or M-K and I havent had much luck finding out the significance.

What does the two letter code mean on Harper %26amp; Brothers copyright pages?
I don't know, but I know a website with quite a few publishing professionals who probably do.





Consider joining AbsoluteWrite.com just to ask. That's where I learned what the string of numbers on the copyright page means--I've wondered that for years.





If that's too much bother, I believe AbeBooks might have a Q%26amp;A page. I've heard the site is excellent but haven't really explored it.
