Description
This was a self-initiated brief to create a replica of the book that the characters Elizabeth and Theodore carry in the Atlas video game Persona 3, to go with my brother and my costume.The book is made of nearly a full ream of paper, and the first 217 pages contain the canonical information the book would contain in the game itself. The rest of the book is cut out, so that it may be used to store things. I had to retrace and recolour 27 of the images myself, as no high resolution versions were available of them.
Perfect bound by hand, the book is covered in upholstery leather and tooled by a hot foiling pen. The letters on the front read “Le Grimoire de Coeur” - French for “The book of the heart”. The hinges on the front are made of craft foam and paper fasteners, whilst the broach on the spine is made of 'Super Clay' (which seems to be foam clay or something, judging by what it feels like).
All up, the book took approximately 80 hours to create including content compilation, and I was then commissioned to create a further five copies by interested parties.
The Compendium, and the images used in The Compendium are © Atlas, and no copyright infringement was intended with this recreation. I charge only for the materials used and the time spent binding the book together in my commissions.
Commissions update 28/11/12: Having discovered that I am unable to recover my back up after reformatting my hard drive, I have lost the file to print from and therefore can no longer take commissions for these. My apologies for any disappointment.

I have the same question as a few of the users below! I'd love to commission one of these. Were you able to get the digital copies back from Videros?

Actually i contacted Videros and he tried contacting this person but to no avail so i guess these files will forever be lost

Hi, I have the same request as TheDarkWisher. I would gladly pay for a copy of your file, as you took the time and effort to make and beautifully organize everything. I'm planning my first cosplay and would love this!

Your compendium is really, really nice! I love it <3
I've read about the lost files, but as two users here already commented Videros sent back the files he got from you so I was wandering too if it is possible to have a copy of them, and its price (I'd like to craft a compendium for a friend of mine)

Hi there! I am stunned on how you made the grimiore. According to your description, you said that you lost the files for the book in which you can no longer take commissions for them. However, there was a comment from "Videros" (a person who bought the files from you to construct his Compendium) saying he sent you a link to get the files he got from you back. If you do manage to retrieve the files back, is it still possible to have or pay for a copy of the files to make the Compendium?

Was curious as if you were able to find scans or anything. I am doing a Theodore cosplay and would love to make the book. Please let me know. If not would anyone know where to get the pages?

how did you make the stats so simple and cool ;_; and the font ;_;

This is so awesome *w* though quite sad that you lost your digital copy >_< I'm planning to do mines from scratch, just wondering if you could kindly scan just one page from the compendium to follow the format.. if so that would be great. ^^v

This is beautiful and a brilliant idea as well.
Wonderful recreation of what would most likely be contained in that book, and cudos to you for taking the time, energy, effort and resources to make something great like this.

Could you make the cards as well? I would love to have the book as well as the cards. Is there a discount if we accept digital copies of the book to print and bind ourselves?
