I have several old books by Robert Doisneau, I think most of them are  
no more available, but he has edited many books.

For your information the books I have from Doisneau are:

L'Enfant et la Colombe
Le Mal de Paris
Le Paris de Robert Doisneau
La Compagnie des Zincs
Avec les doigts pleins d'encre

All these are beautiful, if you want more details I can give you the  
ISNB if it is on these ones, ISBN is a more recent use

cheers
Lluis
