Fanmade Digital Frontier Book and EOLC Sector map I have been wanting a copy of the Digital Frontier ever since I've seen the movie. And with FSURobbie's help it became possible.
I've made a small run of these hardcover books, with blank notepages which can be cut out, to reveal page 75 (which is actually on page 221, so quite a few pages to go!).
And of course there are other pages.
By changing some text, I've got myself the film version dust jacket as well..
It now sits proudly on my shelf, next to the deluxe Sam's identity disc.
I was offering these on another site, but Robbie thinks there might be people here wanting these. So if you're interested, PM me. Thanks.
Also, there is this bookmark to go with the book. (PM me for this as well!)

Hey guys, quick note for those of you who might be on the fence about the book. Kevin is a good guy who has done a lot of quality work. Several of you actually own some of his stuff already as he is the creator of the Sam Chip necklace that SocalSteve bought in bulk and sold to members here.
Kevin has my vote of confidence, he makes quality pieces from several franchises (ask him about his Inception totem lot, they are fantastic) and I have had nothing but good expereinces with him. If you wanted a copy of the book, this is as close as it's going to get to the real deal. I gave Kevin measurements from my book and he made as close a reproduction as was possible while also including a tell to make sure scalpers can't pass it off as the real deal on eBay.
This is your last, best chance to get the Digital Frontier, so get on it! And no, I'm not making anything off this plug and I'm not in Kevin's pocket, just a huge fan of his work who wants to see him keeping making quality repros for fanboys like myself.

The Pop Tech 75 page. In the actual book it is not present and the last page of actual content before the hollow section is the dedication page. The Pop Tech page was found during the ARG and was supposed to be page 1 of the book so Kevin inserted it after the dedication page. The real ARG books do not have this page.

Were there any other pages of this book revealed through the ARG, and if so, do we have scans?

if you are anything like me, well lets just say i've been leaning on all of our digital recreation folks to make the book cover in hopes that i could find a book that would fit it. Kevin has really brought something amazing to us as this is a real book!
I've got my order in...
not to mention hes also making the "sector map" Quorra gives Sam.

Being about 2 minutes late from getting the real thing made me really want one, but would of course depend on pricing...

Ha! Fair enough.
There are a few other distinguishing features, such as the printed cover isn't quite exact to the original and in the ARG book the pages were machined out with an exact and even cut while these books are sold with the pages intact, meaning you have to cut them out yourself.
Someone with bad intentions might give it a try anyways, but a buyer who knows the item will be able to tell which is an original and which is a repro if they educate themselves. As always on eBay, buyer beware.

If anyone uses Disney's Second Screen app on the iPad, on slide 28 (I believe that's it) there's a nice full book cover scan of Flynn's Digital Gaming book!
