The Crossover Grimoire

I've never seen either show, but there was apparently a crossover episode between the serial killer procedural "Bones" and the supernatural show "Sleepy Hollow" several years ago.  The only reason I'm aware of it is the fantastic prop grimoire that appears in the show.

"The scripted prop was a Grimoire-esque, ancient tome.  Referred to as both the Book of Shadows and the Book of Immortality, replete with ancient runes, latin, freemason symbols, ancient greek and sanskrit, the challenge, as usual, was to come up with this antiquity in 7 to 10 days.  Ideally made out of heavy leather and vellum, there was only one problem... our lead actor was vegan so we could use neither."

Propmaster Ian Scheibel has posted a complete gallery of the book, which was created by master craftsman Ross MacDonald.  You can check out more of Mr. MacDonald's incredible work in our archives.
