When I started this book, I was under the impression that Nazis had made lamp shades from human skin...and fully expected that they would have bound books also. Nope. No proof found of either.

In fact, the culprits most often lived a long time before WWII and were usually physicians who loved books! Most often these men lived in times that had few laws about body parts like skin...and chose specific books for this type of binding.

The book is not as gruesome as you might expect. It is more history
