Anthropodermic bibliopegy is the practice of binding books in human skin. As of April 2022[update], The Anthropodermic Book Project has examined 31 out of 50 books[1] in public institutions supposed to have anthropodermic bindings, of which 18 have been confirmed as human and 13 have been demonstrated to be animal leather instead.[1][2]
