Hello Bookworms!
What's correct, we never know correctly; others do, exactly.
Once there was a young girl who loved Taschen books in general and Dali in
particular. Her greatest joy was to peruse the Dali jumbosize in green stockings,
with her legs apart, squatting on a table, wearing her grandpa's original American-
Indian headdress. Fortunately for us her prolific Uncle Eric stopped by one day
and caught her unawares indulging her sweet innocent pleasure, and captured
the moment on celluloid. And then the trouble starts...

Our objective is to make art books and I am proud to present to you the biggest
and best Taschen programme ever, full of fantasy, bursting with life, studded with
diamonds, clothed in silk: e.g. the complete works ofvelazquez and Monet pub-
lished in association with the world's most respected art dealing dynasty, the
Wildenstein family. Or great new books on artists of today, from Philippe Starck
to JUrgen Teller via Eric Stanton and H.R.Cigen To say nothing of Eric Kroll. And
the first two books ofa new panorama ofworld architecture in 40 volumes. Two
new Kl&tze on record covers and tattoos, veritable and fundamental bricks in the
wall. And, and, and.

SatisfY your senses, and thank you for your efforts in selling our books.

Yours
Benedikt Taschen
