Wow, this is amazingly cool:
To celebrate the forthcoming Van Gogh at Work exhibition and the 160th anniversary of the great artist’s birth, the Folio Society and the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, are producing the first-ever facsimiles of the artist’s sketchbooks, limited to just 1,000 copies. The four intact sketchbooks, which span much of Van Gogh’s life, contain some of his most intimate creations – drawings, sketches, poems and everyday matters such as prescriptions and addresses – that offer fascinating insight into Van Gogh the artist and the man. We have one set of four replica notebooks to give away.
Unfortunately the give away is only for UK residents, but you can buy a set from the Folio Society for only… $845!!
Drool.

I really want those facsimile books. I have always wondered what goes through some artists’ minds as they do their masterpieces.
Sir, I am the member of folio society, just enquiring the Van Gogh facsimile copy of sketchbook, can I buy directly from you as I am an Indian resident. What is the total amount and shipping cost. Can I get it directly from you or I have to take from a renowned publisher or bookshop seller from Kolkata.
