Sustainable Edition | Communicating Photos Vol.61 January 2022 Magazine

The "sustainable edition" of the magazine GENIC is a new product that may have scratches or damage.

Magazines that are scratched or damaged during distribution or at bookstores cannot be sold and are returned. Returned magazines are generally discarded or recycled. However, many of the returned magazines are in good enough condition to be viewed. Magazines are made by the hands of many people and are luxurious items that are pleasing to the eye and hand, so it is not environmentally friendly and heartbreaking to discard them because of a small scratch. Therefore, we check each and every magazine returned by bookstores,
We have decided to officially sell it as a "sustainable version" based on the following criteria: - No tears - No excessive stains - No excessive folds - No signs of having been dropped - No wear and tear to expose the bare paper.
Unlike books, magazines are very difficult to reprint, both in terms of cost and distribution. Many back issues of GENIC are out of stock. If you missed out on buying the sustainable version when it was released, please take this opportunity to purchase it. We are offering it at 20% off the regular price.

*If we determine that the purchase is for the purpose of resale, the order will be canceled.

* Numbers are limited. Only one copy per person may be purchased.

* Compatible with Amazon accounts. You can purchase without the hassle of registering.

※ Delivery time
We ship every weekday and deliveries are generally made the next day or the day after.
If the delivery address is far away or in some areas such as remote islands, it may take a few more days. It may also vary depending on the time of shipment.

*Free shipping for orders of one book or more
However, if the product is returned due to a customer's mistake in entering their address or an extended absence, a refund will be automatically processed, with the customer paying the shipping and handling fee of 330 yen (tax included) per book.

The theme of the January issue of GENIC is "Photos that convey meaning"

When we look at a photograph, we feel something and receive something. Sometimes, our emotions are stirred not only by what the photographer wanted to convey, but also by things the photographer did not intend. It is a chemical reaction that occurs when the sensitivities of the photographer and the viewer intertwine. It is a silent communication that takes place through photography.
