Photoeye books has now allied with Amazon, meaning you can search for the best photography books on the photoeye website, and then choose to purchase from photoeye or from Amazon without leaving the site. This is far more convenient for us book buyers, and also means that when we choose to buy from Amazon, photoeye still benefits from the sale. Guilt-free buying! And you can search, via photoeye, for ANY book on Amazon, and roll all your orders into one sale.
A great idea and great service to us all, so please show your support for a small independent bookseller who has dedicated his life to bringing us the best in photography books. I've know Rixon Reed, photoeye's owner, since 1980 when he started selling photography books out of his house in Austin, Texas. In fact, I was his first employee, typing up invoices and packing books (and buying them, too!) The business quickly grew, and relocated to Santa Fe in 1991. Rick was and is a great friend and photoeye is a gift to all of us in love with photography. Thanks, Rick!
Here's the announcement:
Announcing photo-eye's Affiliation with Amazon.com
We are tremendously excited to announce the integration of Amazon's database of millions of books into the photo-eye website. Now you can order all types of books through photo-eye (even those that are out-of-print) and take advantage of Amazon's deep discounts and low shipping rates (including free shipping for qualified orders).
Bigger discounts, cheaper shipping charges, and fewer backorders are photo-eye's top three customer requests. Now we are able to make this a reality. Our new dual shopping cart system and the seamless integration of Amazon's book database into our website makes it incredibly easy to order a great variety of books. Please keep in mind that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you use the Amazon shopping cart system on our website. We receive credit for all orders fulfilled by Amazon through the use of this cart.
We'll continue to carry (and fulfill) our great selection of collectible books including signed, small press, limited editions, and foreign titles. In fact, letting Amazon fulfill many of the more widely available books frees us to focus more on what we do best: bringing you great new esoteric and collectible photography books from around the world.
Thank you for your continued support!
