Re:     Books bound in human skin

There are a few examples of books bound in human skin
here in the Library of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.
The library of John Stockton Hough (referred to in an earlier
message) was purchased by the College in 1900, and the remains
of the library of Philadelphia General Hospital are also now
here at the College.
