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!
S. Billie Mandle’s Asunder is an immersive and disquieting photographic meditation on attention, contradiction, and the quiet entanglement of beauty and destruction.
Devoid of external text or identifiers, the book arrives almost mute — its title revealed only when a flame is brought near the cover, echoing the slow, flickering reveal within. Three years in the making, Asunder began in the after math of the 2020 Glass Fire in Northern California — one in a series of increasingly catastrophic wildfires reshaping the region’s landscape and psyche. Printed in dark, velvety tones on unbleached, pulpy paper—a tactile reminder of the fragility and material history of trees— the book opens with a glowing orb gradually overtaking the frame across thirteen pages. This visual prologue sets a foreboding, otherworldly tone. A quote from Dante’s Inferno marks the descent: “...the pathway had been lost.” What follows might resemble a walk through the forest, but it unfolds more like a stumble. Mandle’s images don’t lead the viewer through a landscape—they pause, hesitate, and invite waiting. At first glance, the scenes may appear quiet or familiar, but subtle disruptions surface: scorched trunks, brittle branches, the dense residue of loss. The sequence shifts from light to dark, drawing the viewer into a looping, claustrophobic narrative. The forest here is both dead and alive. The trees remain, altered but upright. This coexistence of devastation and persistence is at the heart of Asunder—a paradox where beauty and ruin are not opposites, but facets of the same truth. The result is a patient, unsettling portrait of aftermath—where the act of looking becomes an acknowledgment of what endures.
