jenmck Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 WOW!!! Very cool. I'm glad she donated the money. Quote
Karen1 Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 What a beautiful book. And the little drawings are fantastic. Quote
Child.of.God.1989 Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Thanks for showing us, Michelle! My cousin will flip out when I send her the link. I almost forgot about that book. I guess I'll have to read Deathly Hallows again... I wish there were more copies being published! How valuable, though! I love leather-bound books. My mom bought my brother and me two very pretty journals for our simple English class writing assignments. I try to write and draw only the most beautiful things in there that I can. J.K. did a wondrous job in that book! Quote
Adam Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Wow, that is pretty hardcore. I am glad to hear she gave the money to charity. It looks really cool too! Quote
R L Royle Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 It looks lovely. I bet she got so much enjoyment of creating those seven books, and I bet she's given the other six to people of whom she holds close to her heart. Like Child.of.God, I also love leather-bound books. I'm pretty broke at the moment but the just other week I happened upon an incense-filled shop and found two just beautiful leather-bound blank books. After admiring them, smelling them, walking away from them then being drawn back to them, I decided that not taking them home with me would turn into regret. I am so glad I bought them that day. My boyfriend and I set off travelling Asia, Europe, America and Canada in February and we both plan on documenting our travels. Now we've got these books to write our journals in, I think we'll be inspired to document our adventures in our most artistic ways and so I feel we'll learn a lot about ourselves as well as the world, all in a totally positive frame of mind. How enlightened and optimistic I feel after purchasing these two beautiful books! Back to J K; I Quote
