Love mine. I had him weather it for me too nice and good, so the cover is a bit darker, creased lightly, and just perfect for what i wanted. Indy really does a great job with giving you exactly what you want!
I saved for this for years, knowing it was gonna be my first big dip into major prop spending.. and then, less than a year later, now i drop 700 bucks on barad-dur and just roll with the flow.. lol. ahhh credit card debt. so nice. :/
Seriously though, I can read this thing for hours. It's so detailed, and the illustrations and maps are so beautiful! And just the feel of that thick leather is amazing. The only other prop that inspired that level of awe at the detail to me was my grail diary. Equally awesome level of detail.
If you go for the red book, might I also suggest asking for one of isildurs scroll? i got them both at the same time, and love the display the scroll provides too!
