So, did anyone else make an actual book of the Tales of Shazathared, or just me? I even added in the tales of hers from the bestiary sections and on wish lore. I'm going to be binding it in red velvet-like paper glued to shiny gold carstock with the Title letters removed from the red, so the gold shows through. I printed the tales on parchment paper using a color laser xerox workstation. I'm still not positive how I'm binding it, but I think I'll be using a leather thread I have, still haven't decided for sure, though.
My player's are just starting House of the Beast, and I'm excited to see how they react to the Tales once they get to Jackel's Price and the Katapesh Marketplace. The bard in my group is Indiana Jones meets the Pathfinder society. He's a writer, and for his year off, he did the research, but added writing what he found out and publishing it. He'll snatch up the Tales faster than a... well, something really fast... ;)
I've still got a bit of work to do on it, but once I'm done I'll see about trying to post pics. :) If anyone is interested that is...
That sounds like it would be great. Somewhere in this section there is also a link to some audio files for the first eight myths that were done pretty well. If you have not found those yet, you may want to do some searching and give them a listen. I play one each night my players camp.

Yup I've seen those. I started listening to them, and thought about playing them to the group, but I love props, and thought the group would like the books. I didn't want to ruin the surprise, so I'm keeping the audio to myself. I might end up playing them once they get the book, though...

I've been meaning to post these for a while now. As you can see I didn't go with the red velvet look. There were just too many things that wouldn't have worked with it, and my wife talked me into using the brassy textured mat board for the front and back. We weren't sure how best to bind the book, but my wife in all her crafty wisdom knew of a way to bind scrapbooks with ribbon, and I thought it looked pretty good with the book, so we went with it. (Much less messy than trying to glue it or something.)
We used the gold paper for highlights of the title with a black backdrop/shadow for each letter. The big problem we ran into was at the smallest setting for cutting the letters out we had, there was no way Shazathared would fit across the page, so we had to angle it. Thought about curving it, but I liked the hard angles better. We used scrapbooking embellishments with the amber gems at the four corners to finish the front cover.
We covered the inside with textured black cardstock to cover the white of the mat board and the fasteners of the embellishments. The rest of the book was as described above with parchment paper printed with a color Xerox workstation.
My bard player almost didn't buy it. It was about half his spending gold that had already been earmarked to purchase some scrolls, but he did purchase it, and after learning about Jhavhul, I think he's happy with the purchase.
And yes, I know they're supposed to be Songs of Shazathared, but my wife and I agreed we liked the sound of Tales of Shazathared better, and really, none of them were in verse, so... ;)
I went about the inner pages a little differently. Here's a link to d/l them, if you like them you're more than welcome to use them.

The book looks great!
I'd like to make a copy for my players (they passed up the book in the bazaar, so I'm going to have Marzuk give it to them as a gift at the dinner party), but the download doesn't work anymore.

Hello
I am also running the Legacy of fire and would like to print a book as well, how did you work the internal pages and do you have files of them?Thank you
I printed them off single sided on resume quality parchment/paper. Here's a link to the pdf I used. As you can see I originally had thought I'd print the cover, but decided to go another route.
