Picture Book is a six-disc box set of material by The Kinks. It was released in December 2008 and compiles previously unreleased demos and outtakes together with selections from the group's four decade-long career. The box set also comes with a 60-page booklet featuring a biography of the band, a timeline, and photos. As of 2013, the box set is out of print.

Picture Book was one of a trilogy of songs about nostalgia for photographs that Ray Davies wrote around this time. The other two were People Take Pictures Of Each Other which ended up on the Village Green album, and Pictures In The Sand which wasn’t released until 1973 on The Great Lost Kinks Album compilation. The song finally gained wide exposure in 2004 when it was used in an award-winning Hewlett-Packard ad campaign for digital photography. After all those years as an album cut that was only familiar to die-hard Kinks fans, the song finally got heard. Ray Davies: I always knew that.

The song is about getting absorbed by the culture and straying from your family. single pulled from The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, but besides hitting in The Netherlands, it did not chart. The track was also released as a single in Germany, Norway, Sweden, and in Australia.
