Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human
Megan Rosenbloom's Dark Archives explores the history of anthropodermic bibliopegy, the practice of binding books in human skin. The book investigates the scientific methods used to identify these books, examines the ethical implications of using human remains, and uncovers the stories behind both genuine examples and forgeries. Rosenbloom's research spans historical contexts, exploring the motivations of both the doctors who created these books and those who perpetuated the myths surrounding them. The narrative weaves together scientific investigation, historical research, and personal reflection, resulting in a compelling exploration of the macabre intersection of history, medicine, and book collecting.
