I find even younger prints worth of preservation. But in USA you can find that stuff on people attics or basements, you can buy it quite cheat on Ebay etc.Īnyway, destroying book that old is an act of barbarity for me. Original ham radio gear from 1920s and 1930s didn’t survived almost at all. Why? Because it was illegal to have one under occupation, unless you were German. For example in my country (Poland) radios made before WW2 are considered rare and valuable. The main reason things are going into “rare and valuable” state is nobody consider them that way.

How’s that for a unique present/greeting card?įor more advanced Myst gifts, you’ve gotta check out some of the Myst puzzle boxes our readers have created. Everything fit in nicely, and uploaded a bunch of Myst flyby videos to the device, as well as a birthday greeting for his friend.
To glue the pages together he used a spray adhesive, which seemed to work pretty well on the old yellowing pages. They typically let you store about five videos and use a magnetic reed switch to activate - almost like it was designed for this project!įrom there he went to work, cutting out compartments from his newly purchased antique book. His original plan was to embed a Raspberry Pi with an LCD screen to show off the Myst videos, but then discovered the cheap and easy to use video greeting card modules, which you can pick up for $10-20 from China. So instead he settled on a copy of Scribner’s Monthly Magazine,Volume XL, Nov 1875 to Apr 1876. He attempted to find one on eBay but they were pretty expensive - and in pretty rough shape. His friend is a huge fan of the Myst franchise which made the decision easy - why not make a Myst Linking Book?Īfter doing some research he discovered that the book in the game footage was a Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Volume LIV, Issue 312 from 1877. Was looking for a special gift to make for his close friend.
