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!
Sixty years on, along Route 66 between Oklahoma City and Los Angeles, Philippe Séclier has revisited iconic photographic series of Ed Ruscha. This project is in the same vein as Séclier’s previous artistic explorations, in which he takes hold of a work of art to bring us to rediscover it. Inspired by Ruscha's cult books, Real Road Test, with its intimate format and soft cover, pays tribute to a timeless work while reappropriating it with a slight offbeat twist, playing on words and images.
Guided by the precise coordinates of each of these locations, Philippe Séclier creates his own compositions that portray the contemporary American urban landscape. He revisits the titles of the different series as much as their concepts: the petrol stations are no longer 26 but 36, the nine swimming pools are just one seen from nine different angles, it is no longer the buildings but the crossroads that are listed on Sunset Strip, and Ruscha's various studios become a photographic series in their own right. A Few Parking Lots, Some Palm Trees, One Swimming Pool, Every Crossing on Sunset Strip, Studios Estate Opportunities and Various Los Angeles Apartments are the different series that compose this book.
At the end, an illustrated bibliography from Philippe Séclier's personal collection, entitled Then & Now Books, illustrates the breadth of books by and about Ruscha, with over 60 titles.
