Your favorite Book Prop

Creepy and if you have ever watched the documentary on this film, quite a bit of work went into making these props that only had a small appearance but memorable one in the film.

 
I have had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Reeve, the calligrapher/cartographer for Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I've tried to to copy some of his work but it's so good, it proves very difficult.

But as for book replicas

Many of my favourites are listed here - all the books/scrolls from LotR/The Hobbit, Harry Potter, National Treasure etc

I'd like to throw in the Incantus from The Sorcerer's Apprentice which is a magnificent piece of work.
oh and September's Journal from Fringe of course!
 
I'm currently working on making a collection of the books in Skyrim for a friend of mine, so right now its probably my favorite (tho it can be incredibly frustrating trying to bring the book to life).

Other then that though, i'd really love Melody Malone's book from Doctor Who, even if it was just a stylized telling of the episode, it'd be amazing. I know BBC produced a prequel novel, but its nowhere near what I was hoping for.

Post a thread about it when you finish!
 
I think it hasn´t been mentioned in the thread but I love the Aristotle's book on Comedy that appears in "The Name of the Rose". Just a beautiful old latin book.

I dont think any one else has mentioned it. I have always been in love with Winnies book from Hocus Pocus

Love that film any way, but the book is just a great prop
 
Certainly my Demiguel.m Grail Diary (which has been to Lucasfilm and Skywalker Ranch on numerous occasions) and my Marsattack-TazVader Book of Secrets.

That said, an unexpected pleasure arrived recently in the form of Sarednab's Indiana Jones, Last Crusade Manuscript - which is magnificent

I just got a simple prop book, a copy of Steam Plant Operation Fifth Edn from Army of Darkess. Ash has it in the trunk of his Oldsmobile.

I've always loved the Red Book from Lord of the Rings, Bilbo's book. All the illustrations and the hand writing, the leather etc. It's all gorgeously done.
