Why photo-eye?

The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.

How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.

Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.

It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.

However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.

Here are some of the reasons why you might choose to purchase books directly from photo-eye...

Diverse Selection. We carry signed books, limited editions, foreign titles, and small press titles that are not available through Amazon.
Pristine Condition. We pay special attention to the condition of the books we send out.
Book Advice. We cater to collectors. You can email or talk to us on the phone about a book before purchasing it.

Library Jackets. You may add a library jacket to most hardbound books that include dustjackets.
Expert Packing. We care about packing your order expertly to lessen the chance that corners will be bumped.
Biodegradable Materials. We use biodegradable shipping materials for most orders.

About Imperfect Books

Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.

Photographs by Spessi. Text by Stephanie Cash.

The Fishfactory Iceland, Iceland, 2007. 244 pp., 210 color illustrations, 9½x11".

In her catalogue essay to this remarkable new collection of photographs of the Icelandic landscape and other abandoned or emptied-out environments there, Art in America's Stephanie Cash writes, "There is a sense of comforting ordinariness that pervades the work of Icelandic artist Spessi. His subjects aren't grandly majestic or fashionably downtrodden. They just are. In various series Spessi has photographed Icelandic sites or people. But his are not the iconic images of tourist postcards. Instead, he captures the largely overlooked scenery you might pass on the way to the tourist hotspots-gas stations, construction sites, empty landscapes with snow-capped mountains in the distance. Printed on a large scale, the works imbue their subjects with a grandiosity that belies their ordinariness." Whether capturing a lone tree in a barren landscape, an empty kitchen or a humble office building, all of Spessi's work infers "the presence of humans, whether in memory or in anticipation."
