Bibliopegy

Postby Slava » Thu Jun 05, 2014 6:46 pm

Simply put, bookbinding. I came across it in an article on the recently identified anthropodermic bibliopegic holding of the Harvard Library.

I think it would be neat to be a bibliopegist, as long as the anthropodermic bit is left out.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

So I suppose the bibliolumbricus must certainly adore the bibliopegist, but the bibliopegist likes the two legged sort, but despises the sans lacertus kind. And then again both provide him with work.

Ilse Koch, a Nazi, was accused of exterminating Jews and other enemies of the Third Reich. It was rumored she chose people for execution based on whether they had interesting tattoos. She was said to be an aficionado of anthropodermic lamp-shades. It was never determined by the war crimes court whether this was true.
