Advanced Potion Making. I've been watching the build thread and stewing in a truly unattractive marinade of avarice, impatience and admiration.

The "Tales from the Crypt" Book the Cryptkeeper always has at the beginning of each episode...

I'm making one right now for a full-size Cryptkeeper Display...

I will post Photos once it is completed.

I'd really love to try and make a reproduction of the Book of Kells, from the amazing movie of "The Secret of Kells". Apparently there is a DVD with all the pages in high resolution. I might have to pick that up to be able to even attempt it, unless someone has some links for it?

I really have to say that I'd love to make a copy of the spellbook from the opening cinematic from the first Wild Arms game. You can see multiple pages of it in the first 10 seconds of the cinematic and the cover from 1:16 to 1:26.

Someday I'll frame by frame that cinematic, but my free-drawing skills are not in any way up to the task right now.

Well if you've got several thousand bucks lying around, you can get a page-perfect copy of the real thing!

yea I read that, I think it said something about only a small amount were made and they go for thousands. I'd rather make my own though, so you could make it nice and worn.

On another note, I was thinking the original alice in wonderland would be interesting. Its hand written and drawn. Called something else too... alice under ground or something. Cool little book. I'll try and find a link.

Virtual books: images only - Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures Under Ground: Introduction

There is is. A cool little book, but not really a prop I suppose.

Wickedprops.com - Online Movie Memorabilia Museum - Spiderwick Chronicles, The/Hero "Arthur Spiderwick's" Field Guide

The field guide from the Spiderwick Chronicles would be fun as well. Adding in the seeing stone and eyeglass holder of course.

Well, I had the opportunity to examine one of them at my University's library when I was taking a class on the middle ages, and I must say it was phenomenal. The pages even have holes and tears where appropriate!

Fotokid made the Handbook For the Recently Deceased from Beetlejuice for me. Part of our ongoing reciprocal gift giving.

I would look to have a good copy of the Hellraiser book that was created and mentioned a few pages earlier by a forum member.

I would love to have the Charmed (BoS), The Fringe (VFT), the 13th Ghost (Spell Book), John Winchester's Journal. Basically if there is a book in the movie or show that is of a major focus of the story line then I would like it but these are the main ones that I would like.

I love the President's Book of Secrets from National Treasure, Advanced Potion Making from Half-Blood Prince, and River Song's diary from Doctor Who.
