Grail Diary Indiana Journal, Indiana Grail Diary Journal, Indiana Holy Grail Diary Props, Vintage Leather Journal Classic Movie Prop

This is a fun item and there are a lot of good things about it but there are some really striking flaws as to making it screen accurate. Because I think the overall experience is a nice approach and some of the things that are inaccurate are done to make the “prop” more functional, I’m overlooking them. I appreciate the piece for what it is as I won’t likely hand craft a more accurate version. It comes wrapped as a package like the prop appears in the movie. The mail wrapping is done well and the inserts and fold outs are done well. Do I wish it was more accurate, sure, but it is a good enough item to get the point across as a costume prop, but if you’re looking for a screen accurate replica, you’re going to need to make it yourself or keep looking.

Love this journal; super great quality!

Great

It's the same one you see everywhere but at a reasonable price. Not perfect and some parts of it are laughable however with a little work this can be made into a great little prop. You get what you pay for and this is pretty inexpensive so my hopes were not high. I'm very happy with it at this price point. Lots of fun.

other than the book pages being a little difficult to read, I love it and all the little things it comes with.

I always wondered what this would look like in person and it didn’t disappoint. It doesn’t look any different than it does in the movie. It even comes wrapped in the same type of wrapping paper, tied w/ string. There’s also quite a few goodies included so I won’t spoil it. One of my favorites is a ticket from the German zeppelin scene where Indiana throws a Nazi out the window of the airship. Classic! Bundled this together w/ the Indiana Jones 12 in action figure for a birthday gift.

So after seeing the fairly positive reviews for this item, I decided to pick it up and add it to my shelf of inexpensive collectibles. After having received it, I think it will fit well, with an emphasis on the inexpensive ha ha.The diary itself is kinda cool. The exterior is a hard leather, and I did not notice any smudging or blurring of print on any of the pages. The pages look good but it definitely is a prop--don't purchase this thinking it will have any sheen of authenticity. It's clear everything was photocopied, but if you can look past that it's still a decent enough item to display on a shelf next to your Indiana Jones films.The inserts are mostly another story. There are a few decent ones-a couple maps on a stiff, higher quality paper. Most everything else is literally just photocopied items on the cheapest printer paper you could get. This includes the "photos," news clippings, etc. Unlike the diary, you could reproduce this by printing pictures off the internet, that's about the same quality.Worse, most of what they advertise is not actually included. There is no grail rubbing, no letter from Mutt, no Club Obi Wan advertisement. Instead, they clearly just have piles of random inserts with products completely unrelated to Indiana Jones. I got an excerpt of the declaration of independence, a photocopied silver dollar certificate, and a photocopied share of stock in the Stetson hat company. The inserts I did get that were film related were mostly ho hum, things like "secret military documents" related to artifacts from the films.All in all, I did like the diary enough that I'm not returning it, but I wouldn't say this is exactly as advertised, and in my view is probably worth closer to $15 than the $27 it's priced at. With a little elbow grease and time, you could make your own diary and inserts that would be far more impressive than this one. That said, if you, like me, are just looking for something cheap you can put on a shelf next to your films and books, you could do worse than this.

Amazingly detailed, I coupled mine with the holy grail replica and looks amazing in my display. Highly recommend
