It may not look it, but those are dense tomes with intimate details and even more intimate pictures of varying dead people. Upon flipping open one of these, I was greeted with the photo of a bloated corpse with significant edema. Joy!

Alex is looking through the embalming textbook right now and groaning at the hi-def photos.
In other news, Alex has never made Easter Eggs before and I'm going to force him to revel in the time honored tradition of dropping shells in vinegar for a prop that will last barely til Easter day. I'll take pictures of what monstrosities we create.
