Why photo-eye?
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.
Here are some of the reasons why you might choose to purchase books directly from photo-eye...
- Diverse Selection. We carry signed books, limited editions, foreign titles, and small press titles that are not available through Amazon.
- Pristine Condition. We pay special attention to the condition of the books we send out.
- Book Advice. We cater to collectors. You can email or talk to us on the phone about a book before purchasing it.
- Customer Service. If there is a problem with an order, you can email or call our customer service department.
- Library Jackets. You may add a library jacket to most hardbound books that include dustjackets.
- Expert Packing. We care about packing your order expertly to lessen the chance that corners will be bumped.
- Biodegradable Materials. We use biodegradable shipping materials for most orders.
Here are some of the reasons why you might choose to purchase books from Amazon...

Taken From Memory is the result of a 25-year long-time project by American photographer Sheron Rupp (b. 1943 in Mansfield, Ohio). Searching for connections to her own biographical past, Rupp took these photographs in rural America looking to find a piece of someone else’s life to give her a sense of belonging. Personal in nature, these photographs offer a stirring glimpse into the life in the commonly disregarded rural areas and small towns between the bustling metropolises of the East and West Coast. Without pretense or irony, without assertation or judgment, Rupp’s impressions from the past also work as a commentary on today’s US society.
