I had to pay tribute to a great (and horrific) book that was featured in several great (and horrific) films (most notably the “Evil Dead” franchise) and was birthed by a great man, a Mr. I had no tea bags or blow torch while making this book but I figured there were enough of those “versions” already available out there. I wanted more of a handsome tome, concealing a chaotic hell within its covers. I wanted to put my own spin on this work (as I try to do with everything), so I chose to lay it out as following. A Historical Introduction to. (The Book of the Dead) – This gives us the essential background pertaining to the book itself. (Abdul Alhazred) – A biography on the Mad Arab who allegedly wrote the original old tome. (John Dee) – A biography on the man who allegedly later translated said tome. Lovecraft – A biography on the REAL mad genius behind it all. The Testimony of the Mad Arab – The exact words of Abdul Alhazred. The Tome of the Evil Dead (1981) – An entire chapter layout using the images and fonts from the bad book itself in the 1981 film “Evil Dead”. The Tome of the Evil Dead (2013) – An entire chapter layout using the images and fonts from the bad book itself in the 2013 film “Evil Dead”. This is thee most complete and inclusive edition of The Necronomicon on the market. In all, I used nine custom fonts in the production of this book, seven of them from the films. This book was written, designed, printed, hand-sewn, and bound by myself. Only 99 will be crafted. This is included in the same limited series as the edition with the red sewn Gate Seal upon the cover. No more will ever be produced or available by me. I can sign and personalize the book upon request. I thank you for your time and consideration. Some useful information to consider.. Regarding the paper I use. The paper is 80 pound cover Mohawk Cream so no worries about bleed-through. Mohawk Superfine is the finest printing paper made today. No other paper has the same reputation for quality, consistency and uniformity. Superfine inspires great design with its superb formation, lush tactility, archival quality and timeless appeal. Regarding the woods I use. I construct my cover boards and spine board from 3/16 LuAnn (floor underlayment). This provides extreme durability and the highest resistance to warping. Any trim work is done in solid Maple. 1 Full Grain Leather. For only for the most high-end products. Full grain leather only uses the very highest (closest to the air) layer of skin, which is the toughest, most durable, and most beloved. It is left unfinished, meaning it has completely unique characteristics, creases, and coloring. Because of the smaller amount of leather on the surface of each animal and the difficulty of working with full grain toughness, the price is understandably high. 2 Top Grain Leather (Which is the leather I use for my works). To get high-quality goods at a much more reasonable price. The most common “luxury” leather is top grain, which takes the layer of skin just below full grain and works it lightly to remove imperfections. It is smoother and more consistent than full grain, but easier to work as well, keeping the price down. While not as durable as full grain, it is still a strong, well-crafted leather. Usually has a suede side or feeling to it. Genuine leather is made by stripping off the harder, more expensive grains from the top, then using the softer, easier to work leather underneath. It is not as durable as full or top grain, but it is much cheaper since it can be manufactured into a variety of goods with ease. Remember – genuine leather is a specific grade, not the phrase for real leather. If you request genuine leather in a leather shop, they will have a specific type of product in mind. 4 Bonded Leather (Which is the Leather used for traditional book binding). Is made from ground up and glued leather shavings. While bonded leather is still leather, it isn’t an unbroken or regular piece of animal skin. Instead, the shavings from all the other leather grades are collected, ground up, and mixed with an adhesive liquid to make a piece of leather. Though cheap, the quality is severely lacking. Because the quality is less impressive, bonded leather is often used for book covers and other smaller, less worn items. Regarding the glues I use. I use 6 different glues throughout the process.
