Apple Music has announced a luxury coffee table book featuring its 100 Best Albums list, priced at $450. The book, titled “Apple Music: 100 Best Albums,” is being produced in partnership with luxury publisher Assouline and will be limited to just 1,500 numbered copies.
The 208-page book features premium design elements including:
- A custom translucent acrylic slipcase with the Apple Music logo
- White linen hardcover
- Gold gilded page edges and spine lettering
Set to ship on November 25th, the book includes a foreword by Apple Music’s Creative Director Zane Lowe and contains the same text content as the digital version of the 100 Best Albums list, though without the videos and some imagery from the online version.
The high price tag and limited content compared to the free digital version have sparked some debate online, though some music enthusiasts have expressed interest in purchasing it as a collector’s item despite the cost.
