Book Bound By Skin

Did you know that there is such a thing called anthropodermic bibliopegy which means covering books in human skin! Imagine yourself browsing through a book bound by human skin. That’s downright creepy! One of the few surviving examples is the one in UK owned by the Bristol Record Office.
It was made from the skin of John Horwood, the first man to be hanged at Bristol Gaol after murdering his subject of infatuation, Eliza Balsum.
