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.

Bill Sullivan's Pure Country is an epic romp through the history of color image making over the last century and a half. Using the early color photographs of Sergey Prokudin-Gorskii as the starting point Sullivan remixes and creates over 140 images to tell a story in images with new readings and changed meanings of many of the sources. Alternately set in the beginning of the 20th century as well as the second decade of the 21st-century — Sullivan transposes much of the look and feel of the United States with that of turn-of-the-20th-Century Russia. Working with the Library of Congress's extensive archive of American newspapers and Blaise Agüera y Arcas’s renderings of Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs, Sullivan recasts the Russian landscape in the manner of a Spaghetti Western into one often mirroring the pioneer gold rush of the American west. Sullivan injects himself into this conflated landscape with a paintbrush and a can of spray paint, spreading graffiti and abstraction along a new path that often feels strange but familiar.
The book includes a 74-page pictorial index called the Pure Country Graphic Index 1659-2018 people, countries, color photography, worlds fairs & expositions, paintings, Suprematism & The Bauhaus. The index functions as as a graphic timeline of dates, information, and images that inform the book set along an historical timeline with a major focus on the evolution of color image-making and photography spanning the last five centuries.
