The text in the booklet is an edited version of several hours of conversations with Hockney concerning, for the most part, the function and meaning of sketchbooks for him personally, or, perhaps, for any artist. The accompanying facsimile is as true a copy as it possible of an original sketchbook, including blank pages--Adapted from page 5.
