Sybil 6 just sent me an interesting link about the 19th century practice of "anthropodermic bibliopegy," or the process of binding books with human skin:
http://io9.com/5881006/in-the-1800s-binding-a-book-your-own-dead-skin-made-a-lovely-gift. I hadn't realized that it was a quasi-common practice among average people. Checking out the Wikipedia entry, I found several mentions of its use in fiction, but none of the Book Bound in Pale Leather. I can't seem to log in to add the Kencyrath series or just God Stalk. Could someone with wiki-smarts do it for me? Thanks!
