The pirate codex is nice...

I would like to have a real fake introduction manual for a proton pack, I start this project long time ago, but my english is not as good as I can make it alone...

What else, lets see...

Handbbok from r.d. from beetlejuice
red book of westmarch from LOTR
presidents book from national treasure 2
Necronomicon
Peter Pan from Hook

Not really a movie prop but I like always the old book in the intro-movie from the mortal kombat mythologies game...

There are some magazines/newspaper, too...

Probably taking this too literally, but I'd have "The Prop Builder's Molding and Casting Handbook" (which I do) and "The Prop Builder's Mask Making Handbook" (which I don't, but want) by Thurston James.

The Book of Pythia

A non-custom prop book would be Catcher in the Rye, it seems to pop up in many films.

Re: On my prop bookshelf I would have… ?

I don't know if I should list just what I would like or list nonexistant prop books that show up on film. What the heck, I'll just list a few that no one has listed yet.


The Never Ending Story

All the Sutter books from the Carpenter film

100 Women I'd Like to Pork (think that was the title) from Throw Mama From the Train ("a coffee table book")

Kramer's coffee table book about coffee tables in Seinfeld

Ok, I'll play right this time. I want...

The sinister "De Vermis Mysteriis" of Ludvig Prinn, Comte d'Erlette's terrible "Cultes des Goules", Von Junzt's damnable "Unaussprechlichen Kulten", and certain fragmentary pieces: the frightful "Book of Eibon", the horror-fraught Pnakotic Manuscripts, and the dread "R'lyeh Text."

Re: On my prop bookshelf I would have… ?

The "Action Comics" in the opening title sequence from Superman: The Movie.

"A Tale of Two Cities" if you could find one bound like the copy Spock gives Kirk in Wrath of Khan.

I note the Lovecraft (and Bloch) references, but what movie / movies are these from?

"De(s) Vermis Mysteriis" is quoted in "Hellboy".

Appearances by "Cultes des Goules", the Pnakotic Manuscripts, and "Unaussprechlichen Kulten" in "The Keep" were cut.
