Recommended Posts

Saw this as an update on Facebook from Steve Long (guy who wrote The Lord of the Rings RPG for Decipher). This is true fan dedication, plain and simple. ;)

This German art student, Benjamin Harff, decided, for his exam at the Academy of Arts, to do something only slightly ambitious — to hand-illuminate and bind a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. It took him six months of work. In very 21st century elvish-monk style, he hand-illuminated the text which had been printed on his home Canon inkjet printer. He worked with a binder to assemble the resulting book.
