Please do not be that stupid. Have you ever seen a work by Vincent? Forget this stupid story.

Tekanis Doreta,
Good luck with the authentication process, I hope your sketches
are real. If they are you have some tough decisions, to keep some,
to sell some or all, to donate some for tax purposes? If you decide to
sell you should do well as the art maarket is hot right now. I would
love to be in your shoes! To have just one real Van Gogh is a
dream of mine. Good luck.

Actually the notebook-sketchbook is real and you can find further information at: www.eposmind.com . There are information about the notebook and the book that the owner and writer has written. I just read it and its fantastic. Its like a conversation with Vincent Van Gogh! The writer says about the secret language of Vincent Van Gogh that is hidden in every work of his. Also in the book you can find the only adult photo of Vincent that the writer owns. Check this website and you will understand. After reading the book you know more about Vincent compared with what you get from all the bibliography that exists. Really an innovative point of view.
