Cartier-Bresson likely would have dismissed an elaborate reconstruction of his book as crass and egregious. The book's physical presence and high image quality demands not only respect for the work inside, but for it to be treated as a work of art in and of itself.-Evan Paul Laudenslager " "It's immediately obvious that The Decisive Moment is a hedonistic delight, at least if your idea of hedonism is flexible enough to extend to the tactile and visual pleasure of a photography book.-Gary Cockburn "One Thousand Words "Diligently reproduced to the finest detail, Steidl seems to have resisted the urge to over embellish the new edition with unnecessary addendums.
