Of course, even the original book does not compare to the books published since 2000 in terms of print quality. The book publishing just have gotten much better since then. Nevertheless, an excellent addition to a collection. What I found it interesting is that when "we were growing up", Henri Cartier Bresson stood like a giant, but nowadays, a lot of new photographers don't even know him.... So much to learn from this great master...
