Well, not much explanation required, right? An idea was launched, a few people replied, offering their interpretation of a gift of bookmarks for Vincent, from the show characters or from themselves. Moving the mouse over the thumbnail, a "perfect" book title to go with the bookmark will appear, a gentle suggestion of reading material... or just of the book in which to put the bookmark, a book probably already present in Vincent's library...

Of course, Vincent generously allowed us to share his gifts with the many book lovers among his fans, and at the bottom of the page, you'll find print-friendly PDFs of the bookmarks. If you want, you can contribute more, a bookmark and a suggested book title matching it. We'll ensure that Vincent receives it, and we'll also post your submissions on this page.

Happy birthday, Vincent, and many more (books)!

Corinne has been playing with a 3D model of Vincent created by our friend Juan Carlos Soto. Here is a series of bookmarks inspired by that model and by the fantastic creatures that are not and that should be.
