Perry Daniels has posted a great video on YouTube featuring an in-depth look at creating and weathering prop documents. He starts off with one of the cheap Chinese copies of the grail diary from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and proceeds to upgrade the whole thing into something far more impressive. Given the price point, it should come as no surprise that most the of the original inserts are printed on standard printer paper. Mr. Daniels goes through and replaces them with more realistic alternatives. That includes hand-drawing the Petra map, using actual newsprint for the clipped newspaper articles, using real photographs, and then weathering the entire book with an airbrush wash.
There's a lot of information packed into the video. That includes something I've never seen before- recreating the smell of an old book using a spray from a commercial scent library. That's next level.
