I can only imagine what you could do with "the hobbit". Great work sir!

A magnificent binding, my only suggestions would be to scent the book with cinnamon and include a micro holtzman shield generator to hide the contents from prescient-oracular vision, essentially a no-book...

Amazing! The freehand glyphs... that got me. Top shelf!

The book really looks so incredible 👏

Very nicely done, Sir. A work of Art in itself.

Excellent work. I am thinking that when I get done with doctoral program I am going to bind all of my papers into a book so my family can see what I accomplished and pass it down.

Wow.. what beautiful craftsmanship. That looks incredible

Amazing. Folio Society and Easton Press books look like paperbacks compared to your binding.

The difference in texture, colour and sheen after burnishing is wild.

pure art!, I had dreams of doing something similar for Malazan Book of the Fallen and you've inspired me to try

This book is gorgeous. You did an amazing job and the care that went into this shows through the finished product.

I am blown away. This is the most stunning book I’ve ever seen. An absolute MASTERPIECE.

Literally the most beautiful binding I've ever seen.

AI will never be this beautiful

Fantastic stuff

In Dune, there’s a scene where the Baron’s fat, bejeweled hand stops a globe from spinning. The globe is described as “the kind of globe made for wealthy collectors or planetary governors of the Empire. It had the stamp of Imperial handicraft about it. Latitude and longitude lines were laid in with hair-fine platinum wire. The polar caps were insets of finest cloudmilk diamonds.” This book would be a fitting addition to the library of a planetary governor and certainly has the stamp of Imperial handcraft! Beautiful work!!!

what a work of art you did there

I must say...I find myself deeply moved. That may sound rather dramatic, but while I've been a fan of our work and a lurker here, watching this project evolve has truly been an emotional experience for me. I love books and feel terribly sad that school administrations and districts emphasize what they perceived to be the financially sound decision of subtly discouraging hard-copy books, as well as handwriting, pen and paper, tactile experience, and mental landscaping, in favor of eCopy, digitalization, and word processing. Even though I cannot actually put it into words, this rebinding project is (to me) somehow emblematic of a lot of what is being lost because of that emphasis. As three-decades a Lit teacher, I'd love for my students to see this series. Well done. I am also a fan of bible rebinding, but this project takes the mind to a whole new level of possibility. I am truly inspired. Thank you! Who knows what might happen with retirement right around the corner.

It turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! Beautiful!

Just simply epic! The movies are good, but I enjoyed watching you make this even more. There's a lot of subtle things of value and quality to appreciate in your productions and the way you work. As beautiful as the final masterpiece is, I was expecting you to gold inlay the sun rays as well.

I would remortgage my house to own a piece of art of such incredible beauty! Majestically impressive!

Two Dutch words come to mind while watching this video: Engelengeduld (Angels patience) and Monnikenwerk (Monks' work). Brilliant video, I love every step of it!

Your work has done this book justice sir.

by the Gods, Dennis, this is astonishing! you've outdone yourself!! im speechless! its simply magnificent

Congratulations. That is the most beautiful copy of Dune I have ever seen! I don't suppose you'd be able to tell what the music at about 9:30 is please?

Shut up and take my money! (Respectfully)

Exquisite workmanship 🏆

I would love to see this for the lord of the ring books

Who else came here after following the entire restoration, just to admire how this book has been transformed into what it is now?

Beautiful craftsmanship, well executed project, and amazing results. 🎉🎉😊

Man i wish i had this book in my collection. Its beautiful

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was amazing series and end result ❤

Stunning. (I would love to see a Necronomicon from this channel)

this is honestly really really amazing <3

That there is a masterwork if I've ever seen one.

What do you think was the total cost of materials?

I wish I could like this video 100 times!

❤❤❤ incroyable travail ! Bravo👍

Truly stunning! Thank you for bringing us along!

Masterpiece!

book club editions are not made with quality paper

Lisan al Gaib!

Most amazing thing I've ever seen... if I were rich I'd ask for one

Wow amazing 😵😁

Absolutely, totally, wonderfully fabulous! KZfaq has so many downsides, but without it I could never have seen such a craftsman completing such an incredible work of art.

Wow 😯

this is not a work of art. this is a work of love. a work of Soul, poured into every stroke, every touch, every swipe. a work of Passion, dedicated to a universe created by a brilliant mind. a work of Intimacy, clearly shown by your care to this project. a work of Celebration, for a work that touched oceans of hearts. a work of Experience, where each choice in the process is meticulously calculated. this is a work of Life.
