I had no idea about the TV version she did.<br /><br />As to the question of the books:<br /><br />Dave - The original, 1957-era books are the one thing we did not want to replicate. Our team all felt that the 1977-era books were much more beautifully done. So - what you are seeing an edge of in that doorway picture is the corner of a 1957 book - which had no beautiful illustrations on them - just nice calligraphy.<br /><br />Tim - some of our books in the walk through are the original hand-painted ones from 1977, some are totally new hand-painted ones from 2008 and some are hybrids - high-resolution prints of the 1977-era pages, with characters adjusted to be more on model and new text to better describe our replication of the 1957-era scenes. Does that make sense? Anyway - I defy you to tell which is real and which is a reprinted page (what you call a prop - it's all "props" in there)! The painter I worked with on this was that good...<br /><br />Hope this clears things up.Chris Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12759410855891198273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-67971619005618231782009-08-03T09:13:52.139-07:002009-08-03T09:13:52.139-07:00Tim - There are "books" at each section;...Tim - There are "books" at each section; but I do believe they are props, and not actual books.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-19163130130246647602009-08-03T08:21:37.088-07:002009-08-03T08:21:37.088-07:00Yes, another amazing post.

I'm amazed at all of the excellent info and pictures.<br /><br />As for Shirley, she sounds like she was (is) a truly nice person.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-86511898981914679002009-08-03T07:29:04.831-07:002009-08-03T07:29:04.831-07:00Wow Dave, that an amazing post!
