I generally knew I was going to love it (with Baba's pictures and Paul's words, how could I not?) but I learned SO MUCH. This is the escape book we need right now. ...more | |

The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz
by Erik Larson (Goodreads Author) Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee in Best History & Biography |
|
“No wonder the public persists in connecting the idea of human skin books with Nazis. It's easier to believe that objects of human skin are made by monsters like Nazis and serial killers, and not the well respected doctors the likes of whom parents want their children to become someday.”
― Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation Into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin
― Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation Into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin
“Anthropodermic bibliopegy had been a specter on the shelves of libraries, museums, and private collections for over a century. Human skin books -mostly made by 19th century doctor bibliophiles - are the only books that are controversial not for the ideas they contain, but for the physical makeup of the object. They repel and fascinate, and their very ordinary appearances mask the horror inherent in their creation.”

“Anthropodermic books tell a complicated and uncomfortable take about the development of clinical medicine and the doctoring class, and the worst of what can come from the collision of acquisitiveness and clinical distancing.”
