<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“There is no possible, rational prediction that a given used or
antiquarian book will sell for a given or specific price in a specific
period of time.”<br /><br /><br />
<br />“A large collection of used books is difficult and often impossible to sell at a predictable or desired price.”<br /><br /><br />
<br />“Booksellers are entrepreneurs. The success of their business depends
primarily (or entirely?) upon acumen honed over time; their special
knowledge (absorbed over years), and their force of will. None of these
elements is transferable; none can be bought and sold; occasionally they
can be hired. Such entrepreneurs are vulnerable to illness,
uncontrollable social or personal vicissitudes, changes in economies of
scale, and bad judgment.”<br /><br /><br />
<br />“In a downward, declining or changing market, ownership of one’s
building is an absolute guarantee of survival… The book market place is
changing utterly, more so than in any time in history, this hour, this
day, this month, this year.”</blockquote>

But as you gear up for Halloween this year, don’t disregard the rumors lurking in the stacks: Some books throughout history were bound in human flesh. Anthropodermic bibliopegy, the academic term for books bound in human skin, fascinates many students and researchers around the world. There are a handful of books living in universities, museums, and private collections across the globe with these rumors attached, and to the excitement of some — and the horror of others — several have been scientifically proven true: they are indeed bound in the flesh of humans."</span><br />

<br />
<blockquote>
In the seventeenth century, ornate silver decorations became affordable to and popular among the burgeoning middle class of successful merchants and lesser nobles. These bindings indicated the importance of the books, the wealth of their owners, or both at the same time. For nearly two centuries, books adorned with silver were popular in Western Europe.</blockquote>
