A sketchbook by Egon Schiele | 
I gave this limited edition book to my spouse for his birthday yesterday. It is a very realistic replica of a sketchbook that Egon Schiele carried around with him-- including pencil smudges and soiled paper edges! It comes with a presentation box and a small hardbound book of notes (the sketchbook is softbound like a small moleskin pad). I attached this post to an older record, although this book is newly published by the Neue Galerie in NYC.

Izai.Amorim Egon Schiele was GOOD! 7y
Hobbinol @saresmoore AND @Suet624 I think you are both so thoughtful to say that. Thank you! 7y
Hobbinol @Booksandcooks I appreciate that! I think I'm going to enjoy it every bit as much as he is. 7y
Hobbinol @ValerieAndBooks Thank you! He did! (But to be honest: as a retired political science teacher, he probably would have been just as happy at home watching the news. It has been riveting this year, but definitely has taken a toll on my TBR list.) 7y
Hobbinol @Izai.Amorim Glad you think so too! He had a very... fertile... creativity. Brilliant. 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Hobbinol a toll on your TBR? As in you get to read more, or as in you're indulging in bibliotherapy (by adding to the TBR)? 😉 7y
saresmoore @Hobbinol , @Suet624 and I are basically the same person—sisters from different misters, if you will. ☺️👯 7y
Suet624 @saresmoore 😂💕 true, true. 7y
Izai.Amorim @Hobbinol Viena is not my cup of tea but when I think about all those Schiele, Klimt @ Kokoschka works they have then I consider a trip! 7y
Hobbinol @Izai.Amorim I can see that it would be expensive to think that way. They are wonderful artists who demand attention far and wide. 7y
DivineDiana Such a beautiful gift! 7y
Hobbinol @DivineDiana One of us had to have it and my birthday is not until the very end of the year! 7y
