In June of 2014, Harvard University's Houghton Library put up a blog post titled 'Caveat Lecter,' announcing 'good news for fans of anthropodermic bibliopegy, bibliomaniacs, and cannibals alike.' The occasion was the scientific determination that a book in the Houghton's collection long rumored to have been bound in human skin — the task of whose retrieval once served, they say, as a hazing ritual for student employees — was, indeed, 'without a doubt bound in human skin.' What a difference a decade makes: not only has the blog post been deleted, the book itself has been taken out of from circulation in order to have the now-offending binding removed.
