A production-made President's (Bruce Greenwood) "Book of Secrets" from Jon Turteltaub's National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage), Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), and Riley Poole (Justin Bartha) found the Book of Secrets in the Library of Congress and used it to guide them to Mount Rushmore and the hidden City of Gold.

Created by book designer Ross MacDonald based on extensive research, the leatherbound book features printed pages full of historical details and conspiracies, including the Kennedy assassination and Area 51. It includes maps and photographs, including one of the missing planks from the Resolute Desk. It is intentionally distressed to appear old, stained, and well-used, and is held closed with leather cord. Included is a hardcover copy of MacDonald's "Prop Man" featuring MacDonald's works, including the book, autographed by MacDonald in black ink. This book was created by production as a back-up, kept on stand-by in case the copies being used on set were lost or damaged, and varies from those made as gifts, as these original master copies were each hand-altered to coincide with the script and final screening, whereas gift versions were full printed copies. The book exhibits minor fraying leather along the edge from production use. Dimensions: (largest) 10.75" x 6.25" x 2.25" (27 cm x 16 cm x 6 cm)

Additional Provenance: Letter of Authenticity from Ross MacDonald

Estimate: $10,000 - 20,000
