We have at least one locally-famous book like that in the Bristol Records Office, they still exist. For a time it was not unknown to dissect hanged criminals, flay them and bind a full account of their crime in the resulting leather. I don't recall it ever being done in England as late as the 20th century.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/fe ... aol2.shtml has the story of the Bristol book.
