Mr. Thompson runs his own printing and bookbinding business. He suspects that the machine isn't putting enough glue into the book spines and decides to inspect his most recent order of 70 textbooks to test his theory. He numbers them 01-70 and, using the random digit table printed below, selects a simple random sample of 5 books to check.

Which books are in the sample?
