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

informative mysterious medium-paced

3.75

VERY interesting material and definitely has me thinking a lot about ethics in collecting and how we treat the dead. The stories are great and perfect for spooky season, but this is definitely written as if the dignity and value of a book override that of a human being if it can be useful for research. But the tensions raised are important and will continue to be wrestled with probably forever.
