The value of most books lies in their content. In this, it enriches your life with something. It does not matter whether it is a biography of your hero, from which you can follow if only one sentence, or a novel that will pass time and make you laugh. There is always value in what you read. But in Assouline, books have value not only by what is written in their lines, but also by the way and especially by what is written. The best paper, the highest print quality, golden page edges and a binding so precise that even when you look at it with a magnifying glass in hand, you will be amazed.
The winding books are in the most expensive hotels in the world, in shops, salons and also in thousands of households from those who want to have something special at home. When he connected Apple with Assolulin to create a book (moreover only the second book in history with which he is Apple directly linked), I was determined to have one of the 1500 xnumx pounds produced in my living room. In the end, we were lucky and even if today the book is already desperately exhausted, one of them ended up with me and we will now look at him together.
It is said not to judge a book by its coverage, but in this case, that does not apply quite, because the coverage and the general form of the book are what you pay more in this case than for the content himself. A total of 1500 xnumx pounds were created, and this can be seen in the box even in which the book is packed. Indeed, you will see your number for the first time even before you unpack it.
I specifically I have the book 1182/1500, and besides the box, you can of course also find it inside the book, where it is even written by hand, and also on the plastic cover of the book, where you can Review your number. You can say with a smile that all the plastic that saved in recent years in the production of its products, is now used for the packaging of the 1500 products products. It is really massive, solid, quality, transparent and above all beautiful. He evokes the cover of a CD or an audio cassette and K Apple Music really sticks. It is a transparent plastic case with only the Apple logo of music, the winding logo and the number of your book on the back.
The book itself is then entirely made by hand, with hand binding. The quality of construction is a masterpiece and the general design and the feeling of cleanliness of the book will make you enjoy leafing through it. The edges of the pages are painted in gold and everything seems very elegant and minimalist, that is to say exactly as it belongs to Apple. It is quite unnecessary to develop on the design when you see it in the photos of the gallery, but believe me, when you feel the finish and the quality by your own touch, you must admit that the book really has its value.
Of course, even if in the case of this book the cover is at least as important as the content, it is not a good idea to forget it either. In addition to a quote from Steve Jobs, the book also includes a foreword by the Creative Director Apple Musique by Zane Lowe. The 200 other pages of the book are then devoted to the 100 best albums of the moment. Apple Music. The double page dedicated to each album always shows the cover of the album and the text that explains why the album is essential to musical culture and what makes it special.
-Even if the book bears the title of the 100 best albums in the world Apple Music, so it’s actually a choice of Apple Music experts in collaboration with a group of artists including Maren Morris, Pharrell Williams, J Balvin, Charli XCX , Mark Hoppus, Honey Dijon and Nia Archives, as well as songwriters, producers and other people involved in the music industry. So these are not the 100 most listened albums or something like that, these are the 100 albums chosen by these people.
For this reason, you may be surprised, like me, that there is a lot of hip-hop, when there are fewer rock albums and practically no classical music. With some albums, you will therefore wonder if the hidden side of the moon is really better for you personally than The Wall, because the hidden side of the moon is in the book, but there was no more room on The Wall. I love Dr. Dre’s 2001 album myself, but I always understand that The Chronic is much more fundamental in all hip-hop culture. You must therefore admit by leafing through the book that you will find there the opinion of a certain group of people and not that of your favorite, and you will often see albums that you would not have included in the book.
If you are a lover of books, beautiful things, music or Apple, then it is certainly something that will make you happy. However, you must understand that you buy a very expensive, bulky and precious book. This is not a book that you should have somewhere on an Ikea shelf, but which should be part of your interior. It must be placed in a representative place where it will stand out and where everyone will notice it. If you have such a place at home and you miss something special, then it’s Apple Musique: 100 best albums is definitely an interesting choice.
However, this is certainly not something that you need to have at all costs. The books are currently sold on Ebay between 1500,2000 and 450 € 50, three to four times the initial price from which I bought them. To be honest, the price of xnumx € was the price. I was happy with what we had and the book makes me really happy. However, for four times this amount, I would probably opt for something else and I would certainly not pay xnumx xnumx crowns myself for that.
