It's taken me a lifetime to assemble them. Only the supreme master piece is missing." -from Roman Polanski's film, The Ninth Gate. <br /><br />O'kay, laugh if you must. But I did obtain a copy of the book movie prop (the supreme master piece), entitled: Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows. And guess what? The engravings really are quite unique. :)Thomas Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496528868148315705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-72496230709171215272016-11-09T15:55:46.078-05:002016-11-09T15:55:46.078-05:00Equally adept at book preservation and re-binding ...Equally adept at book preservation and re-binding is The Ohio Book Store, 726 Main Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
