Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation Into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin by Megan Rosenbloom

adventurous dark reflective fast-paced

3.75

 An interesting reads that hits not only the existence of human skin books - but also on the ways in which they manifested in a historical sense, and what is being done with them now. It weirdly paired well with the Caitlin Doughty book I just finished, even though it's on a different subject with a vastly different tone.

I think when Rosenbloom gets into some of the more related subjects the book loses its focus and kind of my interest. But it's a relatively fast read and definitely worth checking out if you're even remotely interested in the subject matter.
