50 SECRETS OF MAGIC CRAFTSMANSHIP

BY

SALVADOR DALI

FIRST EDITION

The Dial Press, New York      1948  

This is a beautiful and highly illustrated book that was written by Salvador Dali where he shares with the reader 50 of his secrets of painting. The illustrations in this book are some of Dali’s best artwork because it was his book and not a book written by someone else so he put forth a lot of effort in the illustrations..

I have a number of these books for sale. I will list them separately and try to describe the condition of each. The “A”, “B”, “C” etc. in the photos are there only to help me identify each book.
