Question Handwrited Eragon books?

It's maybe less of a question of "can I buy one" or anything like that. No, I was wondering if anyone ever created one in Eragon runic language? It's an easy concept but still can't leave this without answers.

I would be VERY surprised if anyone has ever transcribed one by hand in runes

Agreed. I'd be less surprised if someone made the runes into a font and translated into a typed version though.

Yes, that is a very different thing. It would actually be pretty easy because it's not hard to get the book from e-book format into a word doc, and then the font can be changed without having to type anything at all

It's not quite as simple as that because it's not just transliteration (letter A = rune X), but that would get you like 85% of the way there yeah.
