"I suspect most doctors who made anthropodermic books took only the first step of temporarily preserving the skins—probably in urine, readily available at the hospitals where they worked—before sending them to a professional to do the rest. The resulting dried and stable leather is most likely what Hough kept for decades, not the wet, pickled skin."
THANK GOD, that was honestly bothering me, that prospect
