: I used the pictures from the Lucasfilm Archives to get the feeling of how the prop man made the original. I used some of the text from the computer game diary. I also found one of the original books used by the Lucasfilm prop master for reference. It's called "The Grail: Quest for the Eternal." You'll see alot of the information is pulled from the book. I have an extensive Grail Lore library that I pull information from; I recently published a paper entitled "The Cup of Christ" through the University of New Mexico about the history of the grail.

So, you copied the "look" of the pages photographed in L-Archives but
used text out of the video game and your own Grail books when you
couldn't copy word for word what was in the photos? Did you invent
entirely new pages or just copy the game diary to pad your page numbers?

: I had the black book custom made by a book binder in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I've seen many similar books, but none close enough to make a believalbe replica. It isn't too expensive to bind your own if you can find an honest place.

I've seen some blank art books that look to be the right size but they
have a black leather-looking covers. Is there anyway to make the black
a nice brown colour?
