I’ve had a search running on abebooks for well over a year for the word “anthropodermic”.

Yesterday, I finally got a hit from a book dealer in Texas. The book is from the library of Joseph Sadony, a 20th century mystic, and was presented to him by Fernand Angel.

Aurora Alegre del dichoso dia de la Gracia Maria Santissima Digna Madre de Dios, Francisco Antonio de Vereo, 1727″.

Anthropodermic bibliopegy is the practice of binding books in human skin. Yours for just US$16,895.
