Their one-off Ark of the Covenant is the best I've seen!Tannis Props is legendary among collectors for their superior quality and incredible attention to detail.  Each book literally takes several weeks to build because of this interest in providing collectors with the best Diary available.  This is printed from an exquisite master copy that was written and drawn by the hand of several artists.  The storyline is unique to Tannis and is regarded as the most accurate and well researched Diary out there.  Your Diary includes hand painted watercolored pages, hand bound in the finest available color-accurate highest quality leather (and accurate suppleness, not thick heavy leather) using traditional bookmakers materials and techniques.  Leather edges are folder over with inner paper cover, not just a thick slab of cheap craft leather glued on.  Even the cloth tape used in the binding is authentic to the era, no detail was missed!PLEASE NOTE that if you want one of these, consider buying it now.  That's not a sales tactic, I am simply being honest that I have no guarantee on when I will get more, or how many will be made available.These are some testimonials I was given permission to use by their former eBay seller, lots happy customers!I welcome your feedback and will add it here with your permission. "I've started reading the grail diary and realized how much more work went into this reproduction. The back story Tannis created is excellent. The writing looks like writing, crooked lines, spelling mistakes and all (rather than the digital font used in other replicas)" ... "It goes beyond a replica prop into a piece of art. Even smells like a real book. I had some skepticism about the binding but it feels strong and is well done." -Tim Hammell (Artist) July 2008"Thank you! Just received it - it's pretty much exactly what I've been wanting ever since seeing the movie! I can now take this off my "Life's To Do List." -emhan98 "It's brilliant. I can't stop flicking through the pages. It even smells old!" -Heath859 "The diary came yesterday and I was amazed at how real it looked. You all did such an amazing job. It's as if Henry Jones Sr. wrote it himself. I have been the biggest Indiana Jones Fan since I saw Last Crusade when I was 7 years old. Next to having the Grail itself, your Grail Diary is now one of my most treasured items. The amount of money I paid was well worth it and then some. You all did not disappoint and delivered beyond my own expectations. I have absolutely no criticism because I am so amazed by how great it is. You made my day when I got it yesterday." -Chris Balga "Hey Grail Diary is AMAZING, you do excellent work, I may have to bid on another one in the near future and enclose it in glass!" -amtrak26 “The Jones Diary arrived this morning and to say I am impressed does not come close! It is magnificient!!!!!!! Wife already went through it and loves it...I read half already and it is unbeliveable............Thank you for a superb Item.......well made. A true keep sake!!!!” -whitewolfe3 "Serious prop collectors regard the gun from Bladerunner as the prop world's Holy Grail. Even though I own one of these, it cannot best this True Prop Holy Grail. This prop had me in tears for it’s detail...absolutely the best prop I own!” -Proppuppy63 "After almost a year of searching for the perfect grail diary, I have found it at Tannisprops. The attention to detail is amazing! I feel as if Henry Jones himself has handed it to me. Tannisprops has clearly created a spectacular grail diary replica that is both accurate and reasonably priced. Thank you so much for your service, quality, and high standards!" -Stoyano “(Just) letting you know I got my grail diary today and am very pleased with it. I can't seem to put it down.

My favorite part is the new text storylines you created for Henry & how you expressed his dead leads & growing frustrations...you should help write (part 4)!" “I’ve handled tons of real movie props and this doesn’t look as fake as they usually do. This looks exactly like a genuine antique book that has seen many adventures in it’s lifetime. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making these!” "This is the third Grail Diary I bought for my wife, one every Christmas, and to me it is by far the more realistic. She will love it."
