National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets, 'The Templar Treasure' Book

original movie prop

One of Riley's (Justin Bartha) books from the 2007 action adventure National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets. This and other prop books can be spotted early in the movie at Riley's rather unsuccessful book signing at Borders – a tale of how he and his "swarthy assistants" discovered the Templar's Treasure in the first movie. Titled "The Templar Treasure and Other Myths That Are True", it has a dark red cover with real synopsis and author biography. Inside the printed dust cover is actually a square-cut piece of wood to 'bulk' it out and meant the props team didn't have to source hundreds of the right sized books! The cover has been glued to the block and is coming away in places but is in otherwise good condition, measuring 15cm x 22cm x 3cm (6" x 8.75" x 1.25").
