According to CNN, the Harvard University Library book bound in human skin is the only known book in the library's collection to be bound in actual human skin. According to Cole's blog posts, there have been similar tests done as well to other books from the Harvard Law School and Harvard Medical School libraries. However, they turned out to be bound in sheepskin.
Harvard University Library book bound in human skin, says Cole, as described by Bouland in his note found inside the book, is "A book about the human soul deserved to have a human covering."
