Just for the archives - used a Cutter-Sanborn table obtained by
html-scraping (BeautifulSoup).  The final Cutter will depend on the
Cutters of existing books on the same shelf.

from urllib import urlopen
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup as Soup

baseurl = 'http://www.librarian.or.kr/reference/mark/cutter%s.htm'

out = open('cutter2.txt','w')

try:
    for i in range(1,10):
        html = urlopen(baseurl % i).read()
        soup = Soup(html)
        for pre in soup('pre'):
            for line in pre.string.split('\n'):
                out.write(line.strip().replace('     ', ' ') + '\n')
finally:
    out.close()
