I'll probably ask this again when the secret gets made because I'm forgetful, but I'm very interested in the possible legalities of this - is it possible to get a book made of someone else's work like that, even if only for personal use? Do book-binding companies allow this?

NAYRT but it's possible AYRT is commissioning another fan so the legalities don't come into it.

Yep, very possible, you just need to find a private book binder who will do it. I imagine some big companies might not do a clearly already published works, but I imagine a small operation might be okay with commissions of say, a custom illustrated version of a beloved novel, where it is clear it is for personal use by the commissioner. In my country you can sometimes get book binding done by big stationery stores as well.

In terms of copyright, NAL but there wouldn't really be any real reason to sue if the person wasn't making copies to sell. Sure, for a book published by publisher, if the custom bound version went viral and the company was persnickety they might request a cease and desist on making reproductions. But when it's just a fanfic from the internet, there's no way for the book binder to tell that the commissioner isn't the author anyway (since vanity publishing would also be part of the business of binding companies).
