Description
This is a commission of a journal from the Disney movie, Atlantis-The Lost Empire.This one took some time to make because there was not much to go off of. A lot of research went into this one to get it to come out as accurate and durable as possible.
It contains over 300 pages of natural parchment and is bound in Italian leather. It is framed in metal and embellished with a gold centerpiece emblem.
The spine is supported by a finial rod that the purchaser had machined to match the original from the movie.
The journal is finished off with a workable clasp, aged and buffed out to a low sheen.

This book looks amazing, congrats! Hope you don't mind my asking, but what technique did you use to sew the signatures? I've been looking at the pictures and I just can't figure out how you got the spine to come to a tight point like that.

ok, so this one was difficult to say the least. I had to do some research to find the best way to successfully bind this without the text block falling apart.
I sewed the text block loose so that when I hammered the spine, I could shape it into the V shape I needed to replicate.

I would love to have one myself. Although I don't know what I would write in it.

Thank you oh so much. That is very kind of you. It did take some time to create. Lots of research went into this book. I wanted it to be durable and functional while still accurately portraying the one from the movie. Cheers

Hey look I know you only make one of your books ever but can you please make one more just for me or something like that it doesn't have to be the exact same just something close enough to it like you can at add the pictures and text from the movie going in the book or something like that please email me at gagebullock1@hotmail.com

Now all you need is an Atlantean crystal concealed in the spine and it will be truly complete. That's how the book managed to stay intact for so long.
All geeking aside, this is GORGEOUS work. I'm almost halfway through Cornelia Funke's "Inkdeath," the third and final book in her "Inkheart" series. The main character's father is a bookbinder and I'm sure he would have LOVED to see this particular piece. I understand it must have been difficult to make. The angled spine must have provided many a complication. Thank you for making such a faithful work of art. I'll be spooling through your gallery to see what other remarkable treasures await.

Question: How can I go about commissioning you for this exact replica? I am very interested. Is it best for me to note you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am flattered, but I only create one of each. That is the appeal of my creations.
Each one is one of a kind.

So you would never recreate this book again? Even if the customer would ask for it to be slightly different? (I think that's how I understood your previous comment, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I took a lot of time to research how this book could even be possible. The creators of this art obviously knew nothing of bookbinding
and created this fictional book with flair for the movie.
It took almost a month to create after the research and trial and error stage.
The owner of this commission spent a lot of time and money and appreciates the fact that they own the only one created by BCbookbinding.
I want all my buyers to feel the same way.
It is not fair to them if I create it again. It's not as special. Not to mention I like to move forward with new adventures.
The only other creation that I almost made twice was the Enchiridion from Adventure Time. I was offered 5 times the
original price which was tempting, but I have to stay true to my word.
I am so sorry.

Ah, I understand now! Thank you for clarifying that.
Since you don't plan on ever re-creating this book, are there any possible tips, experiences, or complications that you could share to someone like me? I would love to know for future reference. If now, I understand that as well.

Your books are fantastic. This one is particularly interesting, as I've never seen an angled spin like that before. How did you cut the folios to size, and get them lined up exactly? My mind is blown be how amazing this book is

this...this...this leaves me speechless. that is the most spectacular, phenomenal rendering of anything ever. i wish i could more coherently convey just how beautiful i find it, just how happy it makes me that this even exists in the world, but i guess that's how speechlessness works.
