They indicate that the book is a ‘non-standard’ size. ff, f, and q volumes are all larger than standard, with ff being the largest format; p indicates that the volume is a pamphlet (these usually have less than 100 pages).
These items are shelved together on each floor after the standard books. Please ask at the nearest Enquiry Desk if you can't find the book you need.
