Egyptians, Persians and Civil War surgeons all wrestled with the same problem: how to stay decay. Nunnamaker's manual runs from the mummy-makers of antiquity to modern practice, part history, part technical guide for the undertaker's trade. A thorough professional record of embalming across the ages. Follow the craft of preserving the dead through the centuries.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
