Thoughts on Boxet-set idea...

[ratsy]

Well I do have a soft spot for Army of Darkness

(yes Master Compton...I'll get back to it..) *craws back to the dungeon*

I really like it. You could try with different kinds of wood too. Scorched wood, dark wood, or whatever. A limited edition in this style i'd buy straight up, just for the look of it if nothing else.

Looks good Gary. Does the box close once the book is inside, or does it stay open at one end?

This one slides in from the right so the spine with Goblin Moon on it would be at the front in your shelves. Anything is possible but I don't want to make it so overpriced.

Anyway it's just an idea at the moment.

Nice concept. If the Folio Society can make a business peddling tat in pretty bindings for years, selling quality fantasy books in individual bookcases should be a doddle.

 

[Colbey Frost]

Looks good!

 

[Boneman]

Oh, come on... it's not mahogany, what were you thinking?

Okay clever clogs so in my WIP I had several mahogany desks, mahogany bookshelves, mahogany pub decor, mahogany-lined office and dresser.

So I want to be different with this, is that a problem?

It was the mahogany submarine I particularly liked...

It could be but I wooden like to say

Can you do same with limestone and moss to give "Death won't be cheated..." collectors something extra special?

 

[Susan Boulton]

Look, Gary, I am not quite ready for a, 'box', yet.

I sleep in one and only come out at nights.

I assume it's mahogany?

 

[alchemate]

The design looks good but I'd put a few more coats on that thing, just so people don't think it's an old copy. You want to make sure they know it's new.

For your information Mr Compton. I was serious in regards of stone, as if this prototype proves successful, you should make a range of models and materials for the collectors to acquire. Not only this is a cool idea, but it's refreshingly suitable for the world we live in as those with serious amounts of money to spend on collectors items will want to get something that can considered as a novelty item. Maybe you could even propose this thing to house styling magazines, and get Tickety Boo Press some much needed publicity.

A steampunk version in brass, with octopus tentacles...

With gears instead of tentacles, that actually sounds like a fantastic idea, for the right book.

 

[Foxbat]

If you wanted to try tentacles/gears/stone then perhaps those resins used to make miniatures and dioramas would be good material to use.
Just a suggestion
