Ancient Book May Be Covered in Human Skin

This is just bizarre - Friday has it's killer rabbit, now it looks like the Army of Darkness has dropped off their book! What' next - will they discover the tomb of Conan next week?

This undated image released by Britain's West Yorkshire Police on Saturday April 8, 2006, shows a 300-year-old book that appears to be bound in human skin, found on a central street in Leeds, northern England. Much of the text is in French, and it was not uncommon around the time of the French Revolution for books to be covered in human skin. The practice, known as anthropodermic bibliopegy, was sometimes used in the 18th and 19th centuries when accounts of murder trials were bound in the killer's skin. (AP Photo/West Yorkshire Police, PA)AP - A 300-year-old book that appears to be bound in human skin has been found in northern England, police said Saturday.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
