this is a wonderful collection of the majors and the minors of the surrealists age(s?) but even more than the pleasure of finding desnos, Eluard and the whatnot, there are a few wonderful nuggets from such apinter/writers as Dali, Picasso, and Frida Kahlo! these small peeks into each of their eyes-minds are worth seeking out, one can almost taste their artistry unfolding on to the page as they wrote. enjoy.
