In the Boston Atheneum is a one of a kind book by a highwayman sentenced to death in Colonial Massachusetts. Hemay have been a sailor at some time in his life because he had a lot of comlex tattoos.While waiting for his execution, he didn't write a song but did write his memoirs and asked that they be bound in leather made from his decorative skin. This was done and the book is in the Atheneum.
I never had the nerve to ask the librarian whether there was a bookmark, too.
