Yes, we'd love to.
LensWork will still be available in camera stores and other photography-related outlets who buy directly from us. These folks buy only what they can sell, so they don't create the overprint waste problem that is inherent in the magazine distribution paradigm.
The hurdle we've frequently seen when approaching the independent bookstores is that most of them buy only through book distributors like Baker & Taylor. I can understand their reasoning -- too much of a hassle to purchase directly from a gazillion independent publishers. That said, however, we wouldn't turn them down.
Look soon for a new page on our website that will list all the individual photography stores who carry
LensWork directly from us.
