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.

I was that kind of kid who was always waiting to be carried off by gypsies. Unfortunately, I didn't meet any until I was dancing the can-can in a carnival, and by then either I was too old or they were. But the wanderlust has remained, and the mystery, packing up your tent and slipping off into the night. Which is a pretty tricky thing to do these days. Modern times are hard for the free people. You can't camp out on beaches or in woods or fields anymore, because somebody owns them. The hobo camps have long since been re-placed by mobile homes, and that's not the same thing at all. So it happened that one day I realized that I wanted to shoot the circus. Specifically, a tented show, which to me is the circus. Going to a new town each day, setting up, giving two shows, then tearing it all down and moving on that night. I wanted to document the backstage everyday life of this ancient closed society and the people who live in it. Because I am afraid that the circus as a way of life, like the gypsy and the hobo, is dying. Even my show, the Beatty-Cole, which is the largest tented show in the world, is small compared to ten years ago. And each year, some small circus somewhere folds. I wanted to photograph it now, while it still exists. First, as a docu-ment; second, out of curiosity; and finally, in the hope that maybe a few more people will get up from their TVs and come down to look around when it passes through.
