Is that a first printing? You're making me drool now.

It's incredible, I have Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photographer and it has some of the same images, so I compared them side by side today.
The newer book has nice repro, but looks like a offset printed image where as the ones in "The Decisive Moment" look like he just held the book under an enlarger and made a print, fantastic!
And his essay in the front....wow!
It did not come with the caption booklet though, so I had to photograph the caption pages inside and re-create it, I did the title page from scratch, it came out awesome, I totally matched the fonts!
When I got it, the cover boards were bowed outward and the spine was hanging on by a thread, I restored the spine and fixed the covers by placing a damp paper towel on wax paper under each cover for a few days under about 25 lbs of weight, they are perfectly straight now...

Ebay with a buy it now of $399, I did a little restorative work to it as mentioned earlier and it is much better now, the interior was immaculate to begin with.
I think if you want a copy to collect, then it is easily worth a grand, but you should not handle it so much, the book is as legendary for it's fragility as it is for it's subject.
I wanted a copy I could actually read and explore, so this worked out very well.

... with one of my favorite lenses !
With my only lens! I never used anything else on my Ms so sold my other lenses a couple of years ago.
