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!
"My neighbour Kid was 42 when he died. He regularly swept our shared porch, put out the rubbish and kept an eye on things when I was away. As Kid couldn’t read well, I helped him with his post. He borrowed my phone whenever he didn’t have any credit on his own. Kid had a turbulent life: he was banned from seeing his son and struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. In the last year of his life, he spent more and more time with drifters and junkies, begging on the street for change." - Rob Hornstra
Man Next Door examines the stigmatisation of the working class while offering a rare insight into the life of a working-class Utrecht boy. What emerges is a bewildering picture of Kid’s many personalities, inevitably raising the question: how well do you know the person who lives next door?
Trade Edition of 800 copies.
Limited Edition of 20 Signed and numbered copies with an alternate dust jacket. Housed in a custom slipcase. Contains a 9½ x 11½ handmade C-print.
About the Limited Edition Print:
“At times of tensions, Kid suffered increasingly from epileptic attacks and a narrowed consciousness. On a Sunday morning in 2007 he was brought home by the police. They had received a phone call from concerned residents in the neighbourhood who saw him walking on the streets at 6 am, barefoot and in underwear only. Outside, it was around the freezing point at that moment.
“Years later, when I received his mourning card after his sudden death, it turned out that Kid’s family had chosen this photo for the inside of the mourning card.”
"I made this portrait in the following days, when Kid spent most of his time on the couch. He could hardly walk, because of enormous blisters under his feet. Afterwards Kid appeared to be very content with this photo, mainly because of the colors of the Bob Marley flag in the background. During the funeral ceremony the flag was lying over his coffin."
