[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have several old books by Robert Doisneau, I think most of them are no more available, but he has edited many books. For your information the books I have from Doisneau are: L'Enfant et la Colombe Le Mal de Paris Le Paris de Robert Doisneau La Compagnie des Zincs Avec les doigts pleins d'encre All these are beautiful, if you want more details I can give you the ISNB if it is on these ones, ISBN is a more recent use cheers Lluis El 14/04/2012, a las 17:37, Richard Man escribi?: > I couldn't take advantage of Turnley's print sales this time due to > lack of > fund, what's a good Doisneau book that is still in print to get?
