I Want to Hold Your Haaand...

I love the Beatles, but this is not about them.

So apparently, there's this 300-year old book that they found that is bound in human skin! It is called anthropodermic bibliopegy. This was sometimes used in the 18th and 19th centuries when accounts of murder trials were bound in the killer's skin. Why don't you just read the entire story yourself...

I wonder if they used any guidelines in which parts of the body they used skin from...

This sure gives new meaning to the word "handbook"...eww.
