[edit] Expansion request
I found out about this subject from the essay listed in the article. There is much more information that could be extracted from it if someone wants to take the time to do it. Also, "antropodermic bibliopegy" Google search

[edit] Book found in Leeds
"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)
- I added a link to the BBC article to the article already. Richard W.M. Jones 09:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- 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)
[edit] Human skin lampshades
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)
My grandfather was involved in the clearing of a nhouse after its owners death and found one of these lapshades in the loft, he and another buried it at the local Jewish Cemetary. Cant include it as its my own research. Sheep21 13:36, 23 November 2007
That kind of stuff would probably fit better in a different article, even though it's interesting, since this one's just supposed to be about books and bookbinding. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 22:03, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pr-image-skin-book-lowres.JPG
Image:Pr-image-skin-book-lowres.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
