- Summary
- Gambino takes readers on an eerie journey through history seen through the hollow eye sockets of skulls, the crown jewel of the human skeleton. The book is made up of a series of short illustrated stories laced with fascinating facts, historical and medical references, and compelling anecdotes. The testimonials of skull collectors reveal what is known of- or speculated about- the often gruesome history of the skulls, as well as how they were acquired, and what makes them so highly prized. -- adapted from back cover
