I'm looking for a book :help:

"The Photographers Eye"
John Szarkowski
ISBN : 087070527X
Published : 01 January, 2007

I need it for my HEFC course - ordered a copy off ebay and it hasn't turned up 2 weeks later - it's an intensive course that I'm doing, so a years worth of work over 13 weeks or something like that. I have just over a week before it needs handing in and can't find another copy anywhere! Tried every book shop in Newcastle and the Metro Centre - honestly it's like looking for hens teeth! The public libraries don't stock it, the college library has 3 copies all out on loan and the university library doesn't have it either. :bang:

If anyone has any ideas where I could get a copy, I'd be very grateful.

I've been able to download the first 6 pages online but it's 152 pages...so the forst 6 aren't really much help, lol
 
Have you tried Waterstones? Apart from Amazon, that's all I can think of
Eta - sorry missed the bit about trying every bookshop

I got mine from Amazon, you might be able to order it for Tuesday?
 
There's a couple of sellers on Amazon who have it in stock - may be worth trying to contact them now to see if they can post it today??

Good luck in finding it!
 
Don't suppose you've tried the Waterstones at the Team Valley?

Saying that, the status of it doesn't look too promising... Availability : Reprinting Available to order
 
If only you weren't so far away, you could have borrowed mine. :|

Good book mind. :p
 
I bought this last week from Waterstones in Glasgow. They had two copies from what I recall.
 
There is a good bookstore near Newcastle uni (across from the civic centre next to that australian pub). I cannot for the life of me remember it's name but if your book is for a course they'll most likely have it.

[edit] Using streetview on google maps it's called blackwells :P
 
yep, i called them yesterday and they sold their last one last week (probably to someone on my course, I wouldn't be surprised). TBH I was really gutted, I thought that little book shop would be my assignment Saviour! LOL

I was also surprised that the uni library didn't have it (college library has 3 all out on loan, 1 due back on Thurday but that leaves less than a week til hand in date)
 
I have a copy of the photographers eye but it's by Michael Freeman (it's about compsition) That any good??
 
no, sadly not, but thank you very much anyway. x

The other Photographers Eye (almost a double meaning there, lol) is the brief of the assignment - all coursework in a sketchbook, and for all I've almost finished the sketchbook as in research, the points I have to focus on etc, I haven't put the "pretty little bows" on it yet, by tying it to the book, quoting it etc etc, cause I haven't been able to get my grubby little hands on a copy yet, despite my effeorts - I wouldn't be so huffed if I hadn't paid for it already LOL but nevermind.

Sods law isn't it? LOL
 
amazon have it, you wont get it till tuesday/wednesday though
 
Yeh it's the waiting that's the problem, if I wouldn't get it til Wednesday anyway, I might as well wait til the college library have it back (and hope that whoever has it on loan returns it! LOL) That and I'm a bit cautious of buying another copy online again, since the firct copy hasn't shown up.

You know, all this panicking and I bet it shows up on Tuesday with my new lens, LOL
