A facsimilie of the sketchbook itself, bound in real linen cloth that has been specifically aged to match the original, is packaged in a clamshell box with an illustrated book that tells the story of the theft and the discovery and examines the sketches in detail relating them to several examples of Picasso’s finished work.
