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.
Detectives were trying to trace its rightful owner and believe it may have been taken from a dwelling in the area.
Necronomiconexmortis
Necronomiconexmortis, roughly translated, the Book of the Dead. Inked in human blood and bound in human flesh it was never meant for the world of the living. The book awoke something in the woods, something evil.

Books bound in human skin were not so unusual before the 20th century–see http://www.livescience.com/history/ap_060110_book
