Just got my Grail Diary from Sarednab and it is awesome. I was planning to get one from Magnoli until they shut him down and after exhaustive research I felt Sarednab's looked the best. I am very happy with it. It is terrific. I'd say it is definatley as good as any others I have seen and better than most. I don't have one of Magnoli's to physically compare but I think it's as good as Magnoli's based on what I have seen online and lets face it, Magnoli is the Grail God.. Sarednabs is more aged than Magnoli's so it comes down to personal preference. I love how aged it is. It really feels like it's old.
I got the story version which for me was a no brainer. The invented pages he added in after the adventure are terrific. They fit in great with the Grail Diary and seem as if Henry wrote it himself.
Now, having said all that I am not a grail expert. I have read many a thread on the grail, inserts, and so one. My eyes have gone blurry and I have gotten many a headache. I can't say if every little thing is dead on accurate as I don't have that much time, but based on everything thing I have read and seen in pics and text this thing is awesome. The detail is amazing, the inserts are awesome and I LOVE IT. Totally worth the money.
Sarednab is great to work with and my diary arrived in a nice padded envelope, but when I pulled it out It is exactly like in the movie, wrapped in the Venice wrapping and tied. As if I was on the set.
Again, I am not an expert. I am not going to spend years going over every detail. But It is very accurate from what I can tell and I have studied every picture posted hear, on any other board and every book and it looks dead on to me.
The cover is a little redder than I expected but compared to Magnoli's picture on his website it matches. My diary does not have the Camel pack insert but, and I must say it again, it's AWESOME!!!!!
It looks just like it does on his website and feels so great in the hand. It makes me want to start a quest.
