Count Rugen's (Christopher Guest) screen-matched Machine book from Rob Reiner's fantasy adventure comedy The Princess Bride. The 11-fingered Count Rugen filled in a book while torturing prisoners with "The Machine" in the Pit of Despair. The positioning of the handwriting on the first page and markings on the page edges screen-match this book to the one seen in the film.

The book has 80 pages in total, including 17 with handwriting and hand-drawn images of The Machine in use. It is bound between thick card covers decorated with colorful marbled patterns, and the pages are deckle-edged. The book has been intentionally distressed to look well-used. Dimensions: 31 cm x 30.5 cm x 3.5 cm (12.25" x 12" x 1.5")

Estimate: $12,000 - 24,000
