Anthropodermic Bibliopegy

So apparently an "ancient" book believed to be bound in human skin was found in Leeds, believed to be discarded following a burglary, and local police are attempting to locate the rightful owner of the grim book.Apparently, the local authorities "were unable on Saturday to answer any questions about it, including the book's subject matter." Hrmm... Why could this be? Perhaps because it is in fact that horrible tome of incomprehensible evil, the handbook of demonology, the Necronomicon. But in all seriousness, this book could be explained without the aid of Lovecraftian lore. See the below from the Breitbart article:

Much of the text is in French, and it was not uncommon around the time of the French Revolution for books to be covered in human skin. The practice, known as anthropodermic bibliopegy, was sometimes used in the 18th and 19th centuries when accounts of murder trials were bound in the killer's skin. Anatomy books also were sometimes bound in the skin of a dissected cadaver. In World War II, Nazis were accused of using the skin from Holocaust victims to bind books.

Nevertheless, immensely creepy. And I kinda like it that way. I'd like to think the true owner of this book is some European aristocrat with an ancient and storied lineage, a member of one of the millionaire satanist orgy clubs that post-Lovecraft horror outlets such as the Ninth Gate would have us believe exist. I'd like to believe the contents of the book are too horrible to read, that they contain a depraved madness of cyclopean proportions, incomprehensible horror...
