B&W drawings color plates "Dali does not suffer from those convenient lapses of memory so common to most authors when they are faced with the problem of writing about themselves. Dali has held nothing back. The result is a human documented uninhibited by false modesty or self-consciousness. The world has long wondered how Dali felt about the things he has done and why he has done them. Here is the answer an answer written in simple understandable prose. When you have finished the book perhaps you too will agree that in calling himself a genius Dali does not overstate the case." All quoted from the dust jacket on a different copy of the book once handled by us. Dali Overstate Heaven forbid! Here's a little context: at the time this book was published Dali was all of 38 years old; he died at 84 in 1989. Although I don't think his high opinion of himself had materially shifted in the interim. NOTE that the "color plates" specified include in this copy only a double-page spread in the front of the book and a single additonal color plate a full-page reproduction of a painting untitled; it's possible that other plates may be missing from this copy but as there is no reference list of illustrations I can't be sure.
