Here’s a low poly book I recently completed. I’ve been working on figuring out the best method for creating books. This method of course translates to high poly books as well. More images on Turbosquid:

Real-time screens, with a blue hemi and orange point light. 214 faces. A bit high for shelf stuffing, but fine for a featured book. Diffuse, normal and spec maps.
Not much to say.
Flawless prop. 
Texture handpainted, baked, or refined photo footage?
Thanks. Photo based texture, refined in Photoshop. AO baked, spec map hand worked. Normal map in njob.
Nice looking book the problem is I would want to open it More geometry.
Great job, man, nice model and very good texturing work!
Thanks all. I do have high poly versions of other books, but they are not rigged as far as opening them is concerned. I also have open books, and open book textures. Maybe I’ll collaborate with someone and rig the covers and a few pages.
Great job, really perfect!
