Salvador Dali: Dali (Ballantine) (1974 - Ballantine Books) 
(edited by David Larkin) A Ballantine monograph in their usual style, 40 isolated plates, on the back of each, only a caption, with title, creation year and the current owner. Actually, only 27 paintings are represented here, the other 13 images being extracts from those paintings, zooming in on some of the fascinating details. Eight pages of text serve as introduction to the unique phenomenon that was Dali's persona. At this time I haven't poured through other book collections of the artist's work, but this seems to be, at the least, a very serviceable venue to examine these displays.
