In Search of Vincent (the Bibliophile Edition)

For some reason, I had it in my head that I wanted to group all of my Van Gogh books together again. They were in piles all over my home and it was time to shelve them together. I knew that I had quite the collection of books on Vincent, but I didn't know that I had acquired enough to fill almost an entire bookcase. 

David and I frequent used bookstores a lot, often trading in old books for "new" books. Books are my Kryptonite (yes, even before art supplies.) I don't know what to say about this current collection other than, I guess I really like Van Gogh. I had thought that my biggest collection was either O'Keeffe, Kahlo, or Matisse, I wrong.

Believe it or not, I still have a Van Gogh Wishlist.

Though I've linked to Amazon above, I would recommend either Abe, Add-all used or ebay in your search. Also, check the Van Gogh Museum bookshop as often their prices (if they have the title) even with shipping are much better than those found in the U.S. You can't trust Amazon prices. They are all over the place and if there's a title that you want, you really have to do some work and research on it.
