A Library Bound in Human Flesh

Article on many books bound in human flesh throughout the world

"The Boston Athenaeum, a private library, has an 1837 copy of George Walton's memoirs bound in his own skin. Walton was a highwayman -- a robber who specialized in ambushing travelers -- and left the volume to one of his victims."

Creepy.
