Never Ending Story The Book

NESBOOKLAYOUT.jpg

It was visually estimated at 11 x 14.5. But 11 x 15 would seem a more logical size. I've seen 11 x 15 journals on eBay before.

11 x 14 paper is available. 14 inch would allow half an inch on top and bottom if the cover is 15 inches high.
14 inch would allow a quarter inch on top and bottom if the cover is 14.5 inches high.
I believe this is a picture of the actual book. Does it look like half or a quarter inch from the bottom of paper to the bottom of the cover?
I think quarter inch. Which would indeed make the cover 14.5 inches, as estimated.

You might go a little over 11 inches on the width then if you are making your own cover.
 
Definitely looks like less than 1/2 inch, so I would bet 1/4.

It is a beautiful book, I love the trim on the cover despite how annoying that would be to shelve..
 
Just a quick pics that update this project!
We have all now! From the correct leather (not show in picture) to the TOTALLY HANDSCULPTED AND HANDMADE metal angle and metal auryn medallion, from fysheet to the correct red and white lace! We have all guys! Stay tuned! Soon you'll have a great news!

Thanks, I'm italian so in Italy we don't have 11x14 inch paper A3 is 11,7 x 16,5 but if I look at american format I don't find nothing like 11X14 inch paper.

YESSS How do you do a corner?are amazing
 
Turns out the 11 x 14 is photo paper. I couldn't find any normal paper in that size.
In the US, a store like Office Depot will cut paper to the size you want. They charge for every cut they make, but it is affordable.

They cut a stack of paper in one cut.

Thanks in Italy this is possible too but is more exspensive for sure...Now, I saw again a film but there aren't any scene where is possible to determinate a font for inner page....sadness...

I can't wait to see this finished and would be more than happy with a blank journal version. I'm highly interested!

What inner page ? For the title page, you would just duplicate the font from the front of the book.

This isn't from the prop, it is from the book of "The Neverending Story".
In the hardback edition, the book's intertwining stories are set in alternating green and red font, depending on which world you were reading about ...​
If you can't find the prop font, this would be the next logical choice.
 
Not to criticize Sarednab's awesome progress, but that Auryn seems odd. It looks rougher than the corners (which btw look awesome). Is it the final version?

Thanks, I just follow the hardback edition font, I hoped in some photo of the real prop...sadness ;)
 
Wow, great work and a lot of help here! I want to create my copy too, and love Sarednab's work. Hope you will be able to create some extra corners in bronze like!

By the way, if other here are interested in the french text, just let me know and I'll help with a doc file.

edit: I also past a lot of hours on the web, and here is the only Auryn I managed to find with the good size:

Solid bronze, good appearance at sight and the finish seems pretty fine. I'll let you know more when I'll received it.

Resurrecting this thread again... I'm hoping to make a replica (exterior only). I found this thread in my research but most of the images are broken now. Any reference photos any of y'all could reupload would be super helpful! I would also be very interested in 3D prints of the Auryn and corners, if anyone ever drew up designs for them. Thanks!
