The text is wrong

I know the text is wrong. As I mentioned in my post earlier, this is my own invented text more relevant to the chapter itself, i.e. about the President's book, rather than an excerpt of Reagan's inauguration speech like the one Ross McDonald used.

Nice work, Kalkamel.:thumbsup

@kalkamel

[kalkamel]

Since you asked nicely.

[Mr. THX]

thanks, but "There is, however, one who is not with us today:" is correct, then the text not.

 

[kalkamel]

Ah, so there's more than one version, I guess.

Here's a pic of Sarednab's that he got from Ross which I used as a basis:

Let me tweak the words and upload it shortly.

Here ya go:

Oh, I also tweaked Jedifyfe's receipt to reflect the fact that Ben paid for both the original and the souvenir. He said in the movie "I actually had to pay for the souvenir and the real one, so you owe me $35 plus tax!", i.e. he paid $70 for the two but Abigail had to pay him back for the souvenir that she lost to Ian. :lol

 

[Mr. THX]

thanks

What about this font for "The President's Secret Book":

Or this one

Will be more screen accurate than the one used now, I think...

Thanks, Tom!

Wow!
You have really gone above and beyond.
I'm sure we all thank you for your hard work.

No problem! It was my pleasure.

Currently thinking of doing the coded letter from Queen Victoria to Pike. Been looking at her letters to get an idea of how she wrote. Just need to figure out how the message should be written.

 

[whitehammer]

I'm sure Ive seen a font made from her writing somewhere

 

[kalkamel]

I cleaned up a screencap and made this:

Its the picture Gates et al showed to Emily to translate. Although I couldn't get the plank to show any sharper (I'm not sure how Riley did it! :lol).

You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :love :thumbsup :love

Saved both Riley Book versions just in case things change down the line. I prefer the invented text one though:thumbsup

The Queen letter would be awesome.


Anyone know how big Riley's book was. Length, width, thickness???

 

[kalkamel]

6” x 8.75” x 1.25” according to the dimensions of the book in The Prop Store. Thats what I based my page on.

The actual book they used was called "Kokroach"

You can buy the hardback on Amazon for about $6 shipped. I did.

Thanks Kal for these!

"Gentlemen... why is this word capitalized?"

Ian's note download

 

[Onkelpsycho]

cool, thanks...


I have some problems with the riley poole pages.

Can't print it in A3, it would fit on A4, but the letters are too small now, so is there a chance you could make a version for A4?!?
