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!
Hand-bound hardcover.
Edition of 200.
Visual History Afghanistan 1980–2004 is a diary-collage by American photographer Edward Grazda, who worked for extensive periods of time in and around Afghanistan over the last four decades.
Edward’s fascination for visual identity represented through imagery led him to collect a large array of posters, stamps, newspapers, maps, and other printed materials produced by various Mujahideen and freedom fighter groups in Afghanistan and Peshawar, Pakistan, in the 1980s and 90s. This is a rare record of how these local groups made use of media and promotion with their own voice and creativity. Edward has merged his collection with images and anecdotes from the same period.
The book is guided by a visual voice that tells of the deep and long-lasting encounters Edward had in Afghanistan, yet also speaks of the larger struggle of people wanting to form a new environment for themselves. Page by page, we are thrown into a mix of journalistic reportage and personal reflection that is anchored in the people with whom Edward spent time.
The 1980s and 90s were two very complex decades in Afghan history. The many groups, political parties and players and their intentions have never been fully recorded and digested. Afghanistan’s history is largely a matter of interpretation, and as these words are written, history takes another step into a very unknown direction. The Taliban have once again taken control over the country and its desperate people.
