Gamerfront brings news about a Reddit user called notadoctoreither who has formatted, printed, and bound every text that appears in Oblivion.
We’re not talking about standard printer paper with a cardboard binding. No, he went all-out with some high-quality paper, and leather binding. The total cost of the project was roughly $130, and roughly a month’s worth of work. Half of that time was spent getting the text formatted for printing.
While he isn't making any more copies you can download the text already formatted and ready for you here and follow the tutorial he used here.
Thanks @DCDeacon and @Elderscrolls.

I would be most interested to see the works of Oblivion bound in a style such as the pictures shown below, a project I recently completed -- a 15th Century replica of sorts, but a custom job for a client. Measures 14x16 and totals 45 working hours, and hand-dyed leather. If there was enough support behind such an undertaking, I'd probably be willing to do it and offer it up for sale. Be warned: it'd be a $1,000+ job.

Just imagine, Oh yes, this is my bookshelf. I have several classics such as Dostoyevsky's 'Crime and Punishment', Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. and this rare first-edition of 'The Lusty Argonian Maid'.
I dream. I dream.
In any case, fantastic stroke on his part, he did a bang-up job on that! If he auctioned that off, I can only imagine the money he would make...from me...I could always sell my car and walk, right?
And to the one who did that great job... I just can say keep on working, it looks great and if I would have the option to buy that, I would do immediately.
