The Essential Salvador Dali

Here's a series of quick, savvy, entertaining books on artists and pop culture at a popular price.

It's for readers who want easy access to information and who are turned off by art-world jargon.

With cutting-edge tone and text, these innovative, richly illustrated, compact books (6" x 6" gift size) are targeted at busy people who've heard of these much-discussed artists -- and who know that many people, for some reason, think these artists are important -- but honestly don't get what the big fuss is all about.
