\"BlackMRX Designs is doing a series of prop books made out of thrift-store encyclopedias that are completely awesome.<\/p>\n

The books are covered in fabric or vinyl and the custom fixtures are cast resin. The artist adds gilt edges, end papers, closures, and other whatnots to make the “tome” seem more realistic. His posts are a wonderful source of inspiration and include lots of pictures and design notes on the build process.<\/p>\n

Reclaimed books so far are:<\/p>\n

Baphomet Tome<\/a>
\nRites of Azathoth<\/a>
\nThe 9th Gate<\/a>
\nThe Black Book of Evil<\/a>
\nUnholy Cross of Cthigla<\/a><\/p>\n

Be sure to check out the rest of the site as well, since there’s all kinds of marvelous stuff to be found.<\/p>\n

In case you’d rather buy than build, he also has an Etsy shop<\/a> and does eBay auctions<\/a>. Given their quality, his props are surprisingly inexpensive.<\/p>\n

Update: I’m pleased to announce that we’re also going to carry a few of his books in the store<\/a> as wedding guest books. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
