Format:Hardcover
This book is full of incredibly emotive imagery, I was amazed to find so many photos that I have admired over the years were taken by Cartier-Bresson, maybe you will too. The photos make you rethink historical events, times gone by and about the construction of a 'good' photograph; unpicking why each photogrpah works so successfully. The only drawback is some of the larger images are interrupted by the spine of the book, and some are a little too small. Overall worth the expense.

Format:Paperback
This retrospective gives a perfect overview of Henri Cartier-Bressons work. The shape of the (paper back) book is a bit odd and because of its weight it can easily slip off your table and get damaged. The contents are, however, not to be missed.

Format:Paperback
Cartier-Bresson's imagery has been ubiquitous and emotionally powerful for decades. This books collects many of those images together with some details of the backgrounds.
For a photographer, it is a great source of inspiration from an excellent, pioneering photographer.
