Brother: Discovered a leather-bound book

British police have discovered a 300-year-old book wrapped in human skin on a main street in the city of Lit (Northern England).

Most of the words in the book are French and it most likely appears at the time of the French Revolution (1789-1799).

The practice of peeling off the book's skin is also known as the " anthropodermic bibliopegy " that was known in the 18th and 19th centuries, when people took the skin of those who were condemned to death to cover the book.

During the Second World War, the Nazis were also accused of using Jewish victims' skin to cover books.

A lot of information is said that the book may have been stolen from a certain house in the city, then thrown away by thieves.

A brief notice by British police said the book contained handwriting in black ink, which could have been around since the 1700s and suggested those who knew the owner of the book immediately informed authorities.

Police have published two photos of the book on the internet but have not received any feedback.
