A classic. If you're considering purchasing this book then you know who HCB is, and you know the significance of this collection. It's pricey, but well worth it.

As a bible for photographers, the book has an excellent packaging, whatever the introduction writen by Clement Cheroux, the content of the book contains many of Bresson famous photos. The printing and the papers - materials are excellent. It is a valuble collective photography book.

A classic..!

A classic that I didn't want to miss. Great, beautiful images. The book has to set of photos. The first set from before Magnum agency (1947) and the other from there to the first years of 1950 (the book was first published in 1952. You will miss some of the most remembered photos of Cartier-Bresson: the man in the bicycle and the spiral stairs, the two «voyeurs»...But there is a lot to be amaze. The big format really do merit the quality of the content. It's a shame that my book apparently felt during delivery, and have a little bend in one of the outer corners, although it didn't affect the pictures. I'm thinking to buy another one for my collection.

Love the book - Reproduction of the images is well done - could look at this over and over and over. Supplemental material was great as well!
