Which would be a good book of Cartier-Bresson photographs to get?

I suppose the new book, “Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Modern Century”, published to accompany the exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, will be good, but it’s too expensive for me. Which of the other Cartier-Bresson books (there seem to be quite a few) has a good selection of his main pictures?|||The Aperture Photography Masters publication is not too bad. I've seen it sell for less than $10 before.

For $34.65 I can highly recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Henri-Cartier-Bres… I have it on the shelf myself and I paid considerably more for it. This massive volume also includes all of his major photographs and an extensive biography.





All of the cheaper HCB books at Amazon appear to cover only a specific period or they're small format... which means either small reproductions of his images or a fold down the middle.
