Exact duplicate binds
Has anyone here made attempts to create a perfect duplicate hardcover book of an already existing book, like for example a Tolkien deluxe edition?
I am from a South Asian country and the hardbacks i want are very rare and expensive here so just had a thought of maybe printing my own text block, bind and design to look like the very original one..
P.s: I never intend to counterfeit, just want to know its possible so i could create my own one closely resembling the original to satisfy myself.
