Here is something that hardcore music buffs will cherish to the core. Apple Music has launched a new book that can be considered a visual representation of the Apple Music: 100 Best Albums that the company launched earlier this year. The book, as AppleInsider revealed, is also unlike any other that you may have seen or felt so far. At 8 pounds, it beats conventional books several times over when it comes to its sheer weight. Then again, that might seem like nothing, considering it carries the weight of 100 of the best albums, and that’s quite remarkable.

However, the book is unique, given its luxurious feel. That includes linen covers and an acrylic slipcase, while the page edges have a golden touch. It also is a limited edition book with only 1,500 copies ever to be produced. Each copy is again hand numbers, adding a unique touch, something buyers will feel proud to have on their shelves.

The book’s introduction has been composed by Zane Lowe, a well-known name in the music industry. With an inside-out known knowledge of the music world and his proximity with several artists, Lowe brings in a wealth of experience that would be hard to replicate by anyone else, and the same is amply reflected in the introduction he has penned for the book. The book comprises 208 pages and 97 high-resolution images.

Apart from Lowe, others who have added their thoughts to the book include Pharrell Williams, Maren Morris, and Charli XCX. They are counted among the stalwarts in their respective fields and command immense respect in the industry. All of this makes the book worth your time and money. At $450 apiece, it isn’t cheap. It isn’t just another book with many pictures and texts. Instead, it is a celebration of music and art in general.
