New Magnum square prints sale

I'm thinking I'll refrain this time. Although that Werner Bischof photo of the two monks has always been a favorite.

Last year's selection vs this year's isn't quite the same?

I'm tempted 2-3 this time around. The Ian Berry and Matt Black prints are my current "maybe"
 
That Jacob Aue Sobol shot is something...

I agree, but I already have a lovely FB print of that made by White Wall which came with my Leica MM (I think that photo was shot with a pre-production MM). I really like these sales, and while the print quality is good, it isn't absolutely top notch.

I am contemplating the Erich Hartmann.

I first saw the Werner Bischof photograph in a book I have, "The Tao of Photography". It has always been stuck in my mind (not to mention that it is from the year I was born!). I'm feeling compelled to order it. .... sigh, done.
 
Explanations about many of those "square prints" being rectangular photos made with a 24x36 camera are welcome.

I think the concept is that, whether horizontal or vertical, it fits inside a 6" box.

But I have two horizontals and both are under 6" wide. You would think they'd standardize their printing.
