The Biliopegistic art. Athropodermic or otherwise you're bound to find something that suits your fancy.
Or you could do it yourself.
Or start a new career.
I could make over $65,000 a year doing this?
And being an employee of the CIA to boot.
Dreamy.

I know a bibliopegist who can fix that.
And Floydd's bib.

I was totally stumped: BILIOPEGISTIC? ATHRODERMIC?
then I clicked the links and realized they were just typos.
Nice trick.

So, was this post inspired by this article?
I ask, because the first thing I thought when I read that article yesterday was "Wow, binding books with human skin was not uncommon in the 18th Century? Accounts of murder trials used to be bound in the killer's skin? Geez, with a little more research, that could turn into a great Metafilter post."
And then I saw something shiny, forgot all about it, and missed my opportunity.
Damn you, Floydd. Damn you straight to hell.

Yep, dersins, inspired by that article and this site, which crossed my path at the same time, but I found I was more interested in the general bookbinding aspect than I was in the macabre. And no matter HOW many times I re-read and checked my post I managed to inflict 2 typos on you poor unsuspecting Mefites.
feh....
