For $200!!

(http://www.ebay.com/itm/Indiana-Jones-and-the-Raiders-of-the...)

The seller has sold a few of those, for between $150 and $200. Making thousands of dollars seems like a pretty good business.




I think it's a great little package; the perfect gift for an Indiana Jones buff. Unless that Indiana Jones buff is also a graphic designer:

"This is amazing! All of the little details like the illustrations and photos make it look really authentic, and the letterheads...OH MY GOD, IT'S PAPYRUS!!! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!!!"


Coincidently, do you know name of the font used on maps in LOTR/Hobbit movies?

For example: http://ii.wbshop.com/fcgi-bin/iipsrv.fcgi?FIF=/images/warner...


That particular font is a copy of Tolkein's personal handwriting, but you can find similar font design in any of a dozen Gaelic fonts. (Or probably find a font that's a copy of his handwriting, too; I don't know.)


There does seem quite a lot of work involved though, I wonder how long it takes him to make one.
