[QUOTE="Bodmas, post: 52945, member: 2675"] Having hit upon the "Hitler's 700 mph Silent Dart" http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,5828.0.html thread, i was struck by several things: * Like others, i am probably not alone in [i]wanting[/i] to discover "[i]The[/i] most sensational 'previously undiscovered' Secret/Unbuilt Project". * Also, like other members of this Forum, i wish to contribute - to the best of my knowledge - [b][i]accurate[/i][/b] (and Factual) information. However, purely "factual" information may be interpreted in many ways (as was pointed out upon the aforementioned thread; and Links provided). Given that there may exist a large market for "original documents" - for example amongst (subscribers to) this Forum - i would suggest the following readings: Mark Jones [ed](1992) Why Fakes Matter: Essays on the problem of authenticity British Museum Press, London. UK [ISBN 0-7141-1728-8] Thomas Hoving (1996) False Impressions: the hunt for big time art fakes Andre Deutsch, UK [ISBN 0-223-99015-1] Eric Hebborn (1997) The Art Forgers Handbook Cassel, UK [ISBN 0-504-54914-3] Yes, these are books upon Art; yet they highlight just how we can all be duped. As a Spoiler alert: Hoving is real pissed that he didn't catch Hebborn ???; whilst Hebborn sez... my stint in prison gave me the time to write this book :P; in which he details how to Age documents with tea...onto the things that can be done with a marble statue and Lots of yoghurt :D. As to the Jones jobbie - it's a Long-winded, academic way of saying: "Fakes [i]don't[/i] matter - unless you are [i]selling stuff[/i]". If you are at all interested, all three (together) make a fascinating read Myself - i stick to Photoshop ;D ________________________________________________________________________________________________ [/QUOTE]
