[Publib] Book mending tips you've probably never considered

[lynne ingersoll]

That's pretty creepy!  I don't know that I would want to make that fact
known, though your suggestion regarding middle-schoolers might be ..oh,
never mind.

Subject: [Publib] Book mending tips you've probably never considered 

 

Discover magazine has a feature called "20 things you didn't know about . .
."  The topic for February, 2007, is skin.

 

#19:  "The Cleveland Public Library, Harvard Law School, and Brown
University all have books clad in skin stripped from executed criminals or
from the poor."

#20:  "One such volume is Andreas Vesalius's pioneering 16th century work of
anatomy, De Humani Corporis Fabrica (On the Fabric of the Human Body)."  

 

Imagine showing that as a highlight when the kindergarteners come for a
tour.   (Or a warning to those misbehaving middle-schoolers . . .)
