Joan Miró 1917–1934: I'm Going to Smash their Guitar by Joan Miro
From a scholarly viewpoint, I cannot assess the book. But if you want to look at surrealism and let the creative free spirit 'fly' for awhile, this is easy to achieve while admiring the illustrations.

The smile at the foot of the ladder by Henry Miller
Miller uses an elegant, melifluous style to tell a simple little story about a clown. This is the epitomy of a little gem.

My edition was illustrated with Miller's own paintings, a choice I found questionable after reading the epilogue. Miller's inspiration came from specific works by Miro, Chagall and others, while his own clown paintings have a more tenuous relationship with the tale. Still, I love his Clown with two mouths (one smiling, one frowning).

The Smile At The Foot Of The Ladder by Henry Miller
This was my first ever book by Miller. And what a nice introduction it was. A sweet, short story about a clown just trying to be himself and live in the moment.

Joan Miro: I Work Like a Gardener by Joan Miró
Maybe it's a beautiful edition in print, but it's just a few pages of quotes by Miro and as an ebook definitely not worth the expense.
