Difference between these books

[Amekaze]

The title is "The Photographer's Eye" by Michael Freeman. Does anyone know the difference between the two? Are the contents inside the same? All I know is both are from different publishers.

The first was the one I originally browsed at Kino the first time I saw it. Have been to Riceball as well but both bookshops do not have stock. In fact, I've already waited for like a month already for the stock to arrive.

Hence, I intend to buy from Amazon but the first is only available from Amazon UK and the latter is available in Amazon.com. I also have other titles in mind to purchase so I can cut down on my shipping costs. Since the prices from amazon.com is cheaper than UK I might just get it if both books have the same contents but just have a different cover.

Also, I've not purchased from Amazon before. Are there any other costs I have to take note other than the item price and shipping fees?

Looking forward to everyone's feedback. Thanks.

I've seen the copy from the NLB. It's from Ilex, the same as the one I've browsed.
I'm not sure if anyone has seen the latter copy from Focal Press. I want to know if there are differences between the two.

Thanks anyway.

All books will have revisions. Could be revision i and revision ii.

My friend highlighted to me that the date of publish is similar so he thinks should be the same. Hmm... just looking for concrete information on these two books first. Don't want to buy liao then find out it's not the book I want.

Thanks anyway.

Anyone with knowledge of these books?

That i can solve for you. Iflex is the publisher for the UK side or foreign side and Focal Press is for the North America Publisher...should i sau publisher or distributors? Anyway, no differences. same contents..maybe different use of English i think.

here's a link for you. Two same book with different cover page. Look on your right bottom corner which says FOREIGN RIGHTS SOLD.

Appreciate the information, crimson1d.

Hmmm... would have preferred the UK cover though.
But since the contents the same, I guess either way works!
