I will soon be able to redesign my movie room, and I would like to add a book case or shelf full of movie replica books. I am hoping to print a bunch myself and then get some cheap books from Goodwill to fill them out.
I did a search for "dust jacket" and "book cover" ... I loved the BTTF book, and the Betelgeuse I saw in paper props. I also saw a Scream book, but out of my price range for this project. Also a National Treasure seems to be in the works at least by one member. I also saw a few magazine style (GB Time)
EDIT: I will use this thread only to collect books/jackets that can be printed/bought through this forum. There is already a discussion thread/wish list here:
http://www.therpf.com/f9/my-prop-bookshelf-i-would-have-61256/
One of the ones I thought of first, but seems to be too obscure for fan art is Brutus and Balzaak : http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/08/06/brutus.jpg I might give it a shot in photoshop, but probably will look pretty poor.
I also came across this in my broader google searches that I thought I would share:Flavorwire » 10 Fake Books in Movies That We Wish We Could Read
And this too, which is pretty much the opposite of what I want : Real Covers For Fake Books | LitReactor
In case anyone else is looking for something similar I will list the items I mentioned below, and update this post to keep it organized.
