Does that count? My issue has less to do with price (although it's not something I can afford at the moment), but the lack of text and insight into the design thinking/process.
I don't need just close up shots of products...I've lived through most of them and know what they look like.
Give us insight and content. Otherwise it's simply pretty pictures without any substance and context.

Well, I don't see any cases or sleeves on the products in the photographs...
Price range comparable to text books or other books not for mass consumption. Not for me but price is reasonable. For one Gruber is critical of Apple - the book is fine but they should have commissioned someone else to do it because the optics are bad
Sadly they do not. They have to pay the clubs to dance there, and only make up the excess in tips. Some days they can rake in, but on down days they might end up in the red.

Damn. Now that I think about it, so does every history book ever made. What a waste!
Don't be. Apple is going strong and will continue to go strong for a good many years to come.
I don't understand the uproar. Apple is a design-led company and the fact that they are able to release a book like this is testament to how far their emphasis on design has brought them.
Do you think a company like Google, Microsoft or Dell would be able to release a book like this, much less have that breadth of products to fill the pages with?
For people who claim to have been with Apple for many years, they certainly seem to have a very poor understanding of how Apple works and what makes them great. Not only Steve Jobs, but the design-led culture which he instituted, and which is still going strong today.
What's wrong with celebrating this?
This is going to be a collectors item in a few years. Might be worth it after all.
Instead of a book, they should have just released T-shirts with vintage Apple products on them. They'd probably have sold enough to make some serious money.
Wow. Insults Nolamacguy? I'd suggest you take your blind love of Apple as well as your insults back to Apple Insider but I see you've been banned from there.....
You’re turning the pages wrong.

Nooo. Lots of art books exist. And are not inexpensive. I don't think this book is something everyone would want, but why does it bother people so much that there are some people who like this sort of thing?
Why must people mentally allocate other people's money?
This book marks the end of an era. An era that ends with the loss of Steve that will never come back because as we all know was impossible without his genius. So I really don't care about the price which is clearly affected by the new era, I bought it to keep that spirit and passion Steve sent to us via all those magic products in mind. That's it, Apple, it's over. You know it, obviously.

The amount of people complaining about a book that they wouldn't buy anyway is hilarious.

People are in the "uproar" probably because they thought Apple were Asus/Acer, thus the confusion.

You must have a very sad life.
Does anyone realise that if it took 8 years to produce the book, it means that this would have started under Steve's watch?
This book doesn't make the start or the end of anything. Apple is more than a single Steve Jobs, and ironically, we have Steve Jobs to thank for that with the culture he infused.
Apple is still Apple, with or without Steve Jobs.
This statement is proof you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Seeing from your post history.
