Hi
Thanks for your comments.
I think the reson why it hasnt got much shadow under the book is because i have a spot light shining straight toward it across the table, so the shadow would basically be cast on the other side. I might move the light more direct above, to cast it staight down to fix that.
I guess the reason that i made the paper so dark was to try and give it that olden look. But yes, maybe i should make it relect some more like, and still keep that look.

Cheers for your inputs
