[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I purchased the Rizzoli edition of the Paris book and also the Stedl book as I know Steidl has the highest quality of reproduction. The Paris book seems to come in all different languages and editions. I much prefer the post 1990 printing so I chose the Rizzoli 2005 edition that is still available for a reasonable price of $60 (rather than $999 as some site would price it - stupid pricing robots).
