Lit with a small halogen desk lamp, I placed 3 different colour fine mesh bags over it to create the texture and colours.
cropped, colour, contrast, median, USM (x2), curves, levels adjusted in photoshop. Desaturate the blue channel and adjusted hue and level to minimize a dead pixel (?) spot.

This is a interesting shot to me, simple yet dramatic with the red background, I like the crop choice here also, adds height to the needle ( which I am sure was your intention)perfect lighting no glare on the needle itself, which at this close I am sure was difficult. good job!
Could you describe the book a bit more in your title? this is a bit literal as well. You blew it up so big a camel might fit in there- there is hope for trump's soul!
Good macro. I think it might have been better to not center, and to include something else that could give us a real sense of scale. I was thinking, what if this was a big, joke needle!!!
Nice composition, and an excellent choiuce of framing to suit the subject. I'd be tempted to run this one through NeatImage though to clean up that noise.
Nice lighting, very nice background. Interesting use of colour. Would prefer more accurate horizontal centreing and perhaps a slightly wider image, though just a touch. Nice one!
