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.

The Verdict:The Christina Boyer Case is a multi-layered case study of the U.S. Criminal Justice system and mass incarceration. In it, photographer and artist Jan Banning delves into a three decades-old murder case in Georgia. On April 14, 1992, 22-year-old Christina Boyer was arrested for killing her toddler daughter Amber and sentenced to life in prison.
Convinced of Boyer’s innocence, Banning started a campaign that inspired and mobilized hundreds of people from more than 15 countries: they wrote Christina letters and emails, supported her parole request and participated in crowdfunding for legal aid and for this book. American students from Georgetown University investigated the case and media reports appeared in the US, the Netherlands and Germany. The unusual friendship between Christina Boyer and Jan Banning captured the attention of Dutch TV presenter Katinka Baehr, who made the podcast ‘Jan & Christina’ for NTR’s NPO Radio 1.
The book presents the results of Banning's extensive and years-long research. Combining documentary and staged photos with a brilliant and detailed essay, Banning offers an extraordinarily intense account of the events surrounding Christina Boyer’s conviction following the death of her young daughter.
In astonishing detail, artivist Banning describes the critical interpretations of renowned medical experts, takes a critical look at the role played by the media, and gives his own visual interpretation of elements of the story. The picture is given extra breadth and depth through Banning’s decision to invite the ‘subject’ of the project, Christina Boyer, to make her own contribution by, for example, allowing him to share pages from her diaries. Additionally, she describes the associations that Banning’s photos of the South evoke in her.
This provides the reader/observer insight into her inner world, showing how life imprisonment influences one’s perception of the visual world.
