The Dali/Harpo relationship always fascinated me, just like Dali & Disney.Yeah, I think over 20 bucks. But then I saw it on eBay for 7 or 8. Really? I was suspicious. But looking the offer over, it was a brand new product, it had free shipping, and estimated delivery was two weeks. It all looked legit. Though still suspicious, I ordered it. Maybe an hour later I get an email from the seller saying it's ready to download.
Now the seller wants me to rate him. No he doesn't. If he pushes too hard, I'll give him a negative.
Upon study of the product page, I did see mention of eBook down at the bottom in small print; but wow, 99% of the product page strongly suggests hardcopy.
Anyway, I'll not make a fuss over it. I'm not much into collecting these days, and we're trying to get rid of books.
Still, it would have been nice to curl up with a hardcopy of this to study at leisure.
P.S. I don't think the artist quite captured Dali's surrealism. For instance, the burning giraffes looked too cartoonish, whereas Dali tended to give them a dark, brooding mystique. And there seemed too much melting of objects so it all looked like paisley.
