I'll review this- I think you have done it correctly! A short and sweet article, but over the length minimum, and everything seems presentable. No evidence of copyvio. Sourcing checks out as well, and I think the hook is pretty interesting. I think we're good to go here. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:35, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Generalissima: This should be showing up in Template talk:Did you know/Approved, right? If it is, why isn't it? If not, sorry to bug you about an unimportant detail. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 13:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's showing up there now. I'm not sure if anything is different or if I wasn't looking close enough the first time. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 00:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is this the only copy?

The article is entirely about the specific copy of the book that was bound in human skin. Were there other copies? We should mention that. Marnanel (talk) 09:24, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marnanel: I'm honestly not sure. The sources I used weren't really clear on that but it's something that definitely bugged me at the time. If you can find anything that suggests more were made, I'd appreciate it. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 10:45, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
