The Mysterious Opacity of Other Beings.

Why Amazon?

 

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 fulfillment 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 (Amazon Prime), free shipping.

It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye (we get credit) if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing links to Amazon. However, you must use the provided button or links so that we get credit. If you continue shopping at Amazon during the same session, we get credit for those sales too!

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 from Amazon...

1. Lowest Prices. Amazon is the leading discounter on the web.
2. In Stock. Most books are constantly available from Amazon directly or through Amazon's Marketplace.
3. Diverse Selection. Over 35,000 art and photography book titles are in stock.
4. Free shipping. Many book orders totaling over $25 are available for free shipping.
5. Shipping Costs. If not free, shipping charges are lower than most other websites.

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

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