The book is presented inside the box along with a cloth covered portfolio containing a giclee print of each of the colour paintings from within the book, each numbered and signed by the artist. The prints were printed by the art studio that scanned the paintings, overseen and approved by the artist, and represent the closest match to the original paintings as it is possible to be.
