Flesh and Tome

from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni

A few years ago, three separate books were discovered in Harvard University's library that had particularly strange-looking leather covers. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the smooth binding was actually human flesh... in one case, skin allegedly harvested from a man who was flayed alive. As you can imagine, Anthony is very happy to hear this. He and Jeff discuss the idea of binding books with people parts. GET BONUS EPISODES, VIDEO HANGOUTS AND MORE.
