I wanted to thank you guys for the covers. My wife loves BTTF and when I find stuff like this I print it out. She goes nuts

It's a PDF. You don't need Photoshop. You need a PDF-reader such as Adobe Reader.
Yes, you can. But it will be cropped (when printed in full size) or scaled down. To print it uncropped in full size, you need two US-Tabloid sheets (17 x 11 inches) or two A3 sheets (42 x 29.7 cm). And of course, you need a printer, that is able to print such large sheets.
It's "Maugham, A Biography" by Ted Morgan, ISBN 0-671-24077-3.
But as I said: it's a bit smaller than the one they used in the movie (or maybe I made my dust jacket too large). Maybe I will look for another book.
I've just found a hi-res photo of the dust jacket on Flickr. It's from the Comic Con. As you can see on my cutting of that photo, there is a seam at the left and a bump at the right side of the spine. That's the final proof, that the original prop also consists of two glued parts.
Today I've got this book (thanks Daniel (DB537) for finding it)! Guess what's gonna be one of my next free downloadable PDF's in the usual quality!
The PDF will come with a guide how to make the silver reflective cover yourself (it's not so difficult if you have the right equipment). And of course it will NOT be a recast of another forum member's work.

Here's a good photo of that label from screenused.com:
Mmm, I think I'm able to tackle this one. It's just a matter of finding the correct fonts.
The SAVE THE... font is "De Vinne", I think:
The bottom font is a little harder to find... Didn't find an exact match yet... The top font is the italic version of the bottom font, I think.

Don't worry, guys. The clock tower can is also on my list. The list is as follows:
1.) Grays Sports Almanac (with do-it-yourself guide for the reflective cover)
2.) Doc's grave photos
3.) 1885 clock frame (real wood and pewter - for sale in the JY)
4.) "Blast from the Past" bag (do-it-yourself guide and -perhaps- a sale)
5.) Clock tower can label
6.) Doc's 1885 letter and envelope
7.) "Biff Co." museum ticket and bar service tab
8.) Blue "Paradox" crew shirt with "Biff Co. Recreation and Leisure" logo (perhaps with sale in the JY)
... and that is not the end.
Good find. It's very similar. Not bold enough and the "R" is slightly different, but that's no problem for me.

First quick try for the Clock Tower Can. Only the bottom part of the text is missing and the alignment can be a bit better. The fonts are not 100% correct, but at least 95%. If someone can povide me with better fonts, I'd be happy to try these and post the results... I still have no clue about the font at the bottom .
