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.
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.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
Between 2007 and 2009, former New York Times photographer Oliver Hartung traveled Syria documenting signs and monuments placed over the past 40 years in honor of the Assad regime. His book, Syria al-Assad, is a loose typology of these once-omnipresent objects of regime propaganda, both loved and hated by the population, that dominated Syria's visual culture. The signs, mostly photographed from moving vehicles, were located in what are now combat zones and no longer exist. In an attempt to capture the temporal nature of this embattled country and the fragility of its existence, each image is printed on paper perforated at the spine so it can be ripped out or removed as one wishes. Opposite each image is a translation of the Arabic on the signs and monuments. The book forms a hybrid conceptual project: socio-documentary photo series and extraordinary form of combat journalism. Syria al-Assad was first shown on the New York Times Lens Blog in June 2012.
