Study Room Guidelines
Ok it isn't so quiet in here but our resident librarian will ensure that there is good discussion on literature, prose, poetry, etc. You may also post sermons, notes, and the like as long as it is not copyrighted material and within reason of the post length regulation.
We encourage you to take a lose look at the threads and offer honest and useful input. This forum is a place where we discuss literature of any media, as well as personal creations by some of our own wordsmiths. Debate is encouraged, but we often find ourselves relaxing here.

Did you read the part (in the wiki article) that "Some early copies of Dale Carnegie's Lincoln the Unknown were covered with jackets containing a patch of skin from an African American man." That wasn't some 17th century book but written in 1932 by a bestselling author.
The wiki article points out that these Harvard books aren't exactly unique, claiming that "The libraries of many Ivy League universities include one or more samples of anthropodermic bibliopegy."
