The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones

URGENT!

JUST RELEASED:
THE LOST JOURNAL OF INDIANA JONES™


The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation is pleased to release one of its most prized holdings, the heretofore "lost" journal of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., which was obscured within the KGB's collection for years before passing into the Russian Federation's possession. From Jones's notes on his youthful encounters with the likes of Lawrence of Arabia and Teddy Roosevelt, through his adulthood adventures with the Thuggee Cult, the Nazis, and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, this journal covers nearly fifty years in his life, spanning from 1908 to 1957. Dr. Jones's snapshots, sketches, press clippings, and entries recording his personal thoughts are all revealed in this volume, giving new insight into one of the most enigmatic adventurers of the twentieth century.

Reader Reviews
I gotta admit, despite being probably the world's most devoted Indy fan, when I first saw The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones, I really didn't think too much of it. With the impending release of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I fully expect to see a virtual tidal wave of movie tie-in merchandise leading up to the May 22nd Premiere. Some of it cheesy (see my blog review of the Indiana Jones Adventure Spoon!) and some of it great. This is definitely in the "great" category. But, as a devoted Indy fan, I bought it anyway (could I do anything else?) and it's really a clever idea. It's not a book but a scrapbook. The premise (such as there is) is that the KGB some how came into the possession of Dr. Jones Jr's diary in Peru, South America, in 1957. It was later inherited by the mythical "Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation" and was consequently released to the public. This is all established by a sort of page seal that fits over the front cover. The back has a little more of the "back-story" on a label designed to be cleanly removed. This is intentional as the book itself is made out of a faux leather-type material and has an elastic band to keep the book closed. It's obviously been designed to resemble Dr Jones, Sr's Grail Diary seen in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Special Edition). The inside of the book contains only a minimum of text, mostly being devoted to hand-drawn maps, taped in "letters," pictures, and memorabilia of the kind that you'd expect from Jones' adventurous life. It's really a clever idea, pioneered by similar products like Lucy & Desi: The Real Life Scrapbook of America's Favorite TV Couple. This is definitely a must-have for any fans! It'll take a place of honor next to my Indiana Jones Khyber Bowie Knife! Comments (3) | | (Report this)
