message: "Ancient Book May Be Covered in Human Skin" Interesting story, reads in part "A 300-year-old book that appears to be bound in human skin has been found in northern England, police said Saturday.  The macabre discovery was made on a central street in Leeds, and officers said the ledger may have been dumped following a burglary."  Need a more stable link than Yahoo! News though, I don't think they keep the articles long.  I tried following the link to the police site, but it wasn't loading, too much traffic maybe.  Maybe somebody else can find more; I'll look later. Шизомби 05:00, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Oh, good, although it would be nice to get something about it in the article.  In fact, there are quite a lot of links and very little text.  I'll have to check them out, they probably all have something that could be added. Шизомби 13:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: While visiting the Central Museum of Soviet Armed Forces in Moscow during Aug 1995, I'm pretty sure the display with items recovered from liberated concentration camps contained a lapshade made of human skin (ar at least tagged as such). Can anyone confirm this ?
I don't know, but I am aware there is film of these objects.  The only source I know of for this footage is from traces of death series, and I belive it's in volume one, if not then one of the early editions.  It had footage of ilsa's collection which appeared to be around two tables worth of items.  This included lamps, books, et c.   -BudhaCronX 21:11, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: *"The Straight Dope" is a syndicated weekly newspaper feature which has been published in The Chicago Reader since 1973, and which runs in several dozen papers nationwide. Plus collected editions published by Ballantine Books, where it was subjected to an extra layer of editorial oversight. As such, it is a Reliable Source, and sufficient proof to verify the claim made in the article. As I stated before: If you can find published reliable sources indicating that the current sourcing is in error, please feel free to provide them. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 17:13, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Pr-image-skin-book-lowres.JPG

message: I recently visited the Wellcome Collection in London, and took a picture of a book bound in skin. As this article does not have a picture, I thought I'd upload it. However, I am not sure of the licensing etc. associated with museum works, and I don't really know how to put photos into Wikipedia etc. So, any help would be greatly appreciated. I've put the image into commons, and the link is below.

Some early copies of Dale Carnegie's Lincoln the Unknown were covered with jackets containing a patch of skin from an African American man, onto which the title had been embossed. San Francisco Chronicle
Because it cites a sketchy website, and even if it is correct, I'm not sure it links to the right Dale Carnegie. If "Lincoln the Unknown" was written in 1932, it seems highly unlikely that the book jacket contained a patch of human skin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.193.6.246 (talk) 12:49, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

message: The equivalent article in the Japanese Wikipedia links to the announcement of an exhibition at Seoul National University Library apparently including an anthropodermic binding. The exhibition appears to have been called Tradition Encounters the World and celebrated the 60th anniversary of the University. Can any speakers of Japanese or Korean shed light on this? Google Translate suggests that it may have a connection with the East India Company. Addedentry (talk) 14:10, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
