The Nine Gates - NEW PHOTOS (page 12)

[Flattery]

Did a little "photo-op" this morning and took almost 50 pictures. Here's three of them:







In the images are a book (falling apart) published in 1609, my grail diary (as yet unfinished) and a 17th C. brass French dip pen.

I received my copy today, it arrived safely and very fast and I am overwhelmed by every detail included in this fine prop replica (that's my copy with the discolored back cover in his recent photos) and it is truly a Master Work - not only did Flattery make an exacting replica, but he also gave me the customizations options to enhance my buying experience and put my personal stamp on this fine work. I will cherish my book forever. Thank you Flattery, you've done yourself very proud!!

Thank you, Mac, for the kind words! I'm very happy that it arrived safely (and quickly), and that you're so pleased with it. Cheers!

Incredible passion, time and talent you put on these books
Great work

 

[Flattery]

@Make Believe: Thank you. I count myself lucky. Given that bookbinding is my full-time job, I put an equal amount of time and effort into each book, no matter how big or small.

NOTICE: With the increasing probability (now 90%) that Hurricane Sandy will hit the New York area on Tues. Oct. 30, there's the likelihood that I may be without power for an extended period. Please don't be surprised if I am unresponsive for a little while (or worst case, a long while).

If you have an active replica order and need to get in touch with me quickly, I can be reached via the URL given in my signature (the Contact page also lists my phone number).

Cheers!

[Flattery]

Food and water, check. Blankets, check. Matches, check. Rum, check. ...what else do I need?

 

[TomVDJ]

Your book binding equipment off course!!!

 

[Flattery]

Whew, what a night. Got all the books in my possession individually wrapped and sealed, then stored in large tubs, taped shut with packing tape and wrapped in large trashbags. Next -- tools.

But I do plan to do some binding, even if the power is out.

 

[MurdocXXL]

Good luck for the upcoming hours Hagen. Hope everything is prepared for "Sandy".
Keep dry and safe
