I finally got The Book of the Dead! And I proved I have too much free time as I spent 45 min trying to decode the kandarian text in the book. Anyone who has the book and cant figure it out, heres the translations: *Pg.1- "dedicated to those who bled for "The Evil Dead" and their families, friends and fans." *Pg 2- "For you scholars out there, this is the aincient language of Bullskritaka (?) as font of the dead. I hope you enjoy decoding this as much as I did. Read on" * There's a small phrase on page 2 between two drawings that reads : "Your ad here." *Pg.3- " I can draw skulls all day long." *Pg.4- "Employees must wash hands before returning to workplace. Thanks!" *Pg.5- "Bow down before me and beg fo' (this is followed by a drawing of a corpse which I guess means "Beg fo' death"...) * On Page 5 theres a drawing of a severed head. On closer examination you can see it's a caricature of director Sam Raimi. The caption reads: "Hey, it's Sam!" *Pg.6- This page shows an arm gradually decomposing and the text reads: "Raw...Medium...Rare" *Pg.7- "Get a load" *There's a picture of a winged monster and the text reads: "Flying Deadites...Tom must be psychic". *Pg.8- Theres a map of Kandar and the inscription reads "Visit lovely Kandar castle". *Pg.9- Drawings of severed eyeballs " Not scientifically accurate. Gross huh?" *Pg.10- This one was hard. I think it says "Been reel kids. Make movies not war". Lemme know if this helped ya out! - El Lobo

Thats pretty cool and all but most people dont have the special edition evil dead and don't have anything to put your translations to. If I had it I would be praising your skills.

Rumblewolf, this is AWESOME!!!!! I have the book in front of me now, I don't think I would have ever been able to translate it. I hope you don't mind me copying it (and give credit where it's due of course)? Anyway, on page 6 I noticed a small error which I'm sure was just a typo...you typed "Raw...Medium...Rare" and should read "Raw...Medium...Well"
WELL DONE RUMBLEWOLF!!!
