Anyone know of any?
Also, NOT interested in big art books such as the Folio Society's "Vincent Van Gogh The Sketchbooks" (which is not fine press anyway :)

None per se. Probably the most deluxe (and expensive) to date is the six-volume edition of his letters by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam:
Vincent van Gogh, The Letters: The Complete Illustrated and Annotated edition, edited by Leo Jansen, Hans Luijten and Nienke Bakker (2009). Out of print, but available on the secondary market.

There is also the abridged version Vincent van Gogh: A Life in Letters by the same editors and published last year by Thames & Hudson.

>3 dpbbooks: Thanks but I'm absolutely NOT looking for an art book of that nature. I'm looking for literature where VVG's art has been incorporated as illustrations.

There's a Heritage Press book, a novel by Irving Stone called Lust for Life about van Gogh's life. It is largely based on the collection of letters between van Gogh and his younger brother, art dealer Theo van Gogh. The book includes some 150 (!) reproductions of his art. I own a similar book on Rembrandt and it is pretty nice. Probably not fine press though.

>6 Lukas1990: Unfortunately, the illustrations in Lust for Life are primarily in black and white. Nice full leather yellow binding, though.
