(Unlike earlier facsimile sketchbooks published, this one shows his delight in drawing for itself, rather than as ideas for sculpture).
6-8 GARROULD Ann. Introduction.
(Outlines the importance of drawing to Moore, from childhood through illness to old age. This sketchbook contains, in microcosm, most of the subjects which have inspired Moore over a working life of more than sixty years. It was begun in July 1980 on holiday in Forte dei Marmi, and the artist's routine is outlined, noting sketches of domestic scenes and inspiration from art books on the old masters in his holiday home).
