Hope this isn't breaking protocol because I didn't find with my detector, but found this among somewhat hidden family items. It's 1825 Bible by Eyre and Strahan ("Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty") - Sotheby's wrote back and said it's just worth about $250 (200 pounds as they said), but still pretty cool, especially the handwritten entry 1830 from a woman perhaps named Elizabeth Homes Mereworth. Very nice (?)leather(?) cover. My brother told me sometimes they would make book covers from human skin. Anyone heard this?
