"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.Humans maintaining their civilization, eh?
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."
