[0423MAC]

You think they might have better proofreading — at least of the album titles — for that price.

Assuming this is a joke by you.

There has always been some confusion because of the album cover, but 'blonde' is the official title of the record.

Maybe I should get one of these and make use of cleaning the dust buildup over time with the apple cloth.

I do wish I had bought on of those other Apple Books with the pictures of products in them.

 

[Rogifan]

This list was complete garbage. Who would pay for a book like this?

 

[unQuestionable]

I should’ve gotten an acrylic case for my Designed by Apple in California book because the linen gets dirty over time. And I have no idea how to clean it.

Where is the classical music book?

I don’t get it?

Where is the classical music book?

It is featured alongside the Classical Music app on your Mac. Oh, wait a minute....

Never heard of this company until now. And now I wish I hadn’t. What a pretentious company. These types of luxury brands are just off-putting to me. I wish Apple wasn’t in business with them.

 

[tomtad]

Who came up with this idea 🤣

 

[mozumder]

Praying for Apples eventually demise. This is insane.

it's a luxury product. Like a painting. Or a Hermes bag. Why complain about it?

You don't expect people to go through life purely for functional reasons, do you?

Luxury products exist because people don't want to be equivalent to the commoner.

And if everyone was a commoner, they would have no reason to exist.

We Apple nerds pay thousands for our toys and some here complain about $450.

 

[ThomasJL]

Apple today announced you can now pre-order a limited-edition Apple Music: 100 Best Albums book for the low, low price of… $450. That's not a typo.

Tim Cook is so out of touch with the financial struggles of ordinary people. His level of corporate greed is exceptionally shameless.

That's the correct title for the album. The front cover spells it differently on purpose. I'm dead serious.

I think it's georgeus!

(As a bonus, it will never run out of battery)

A country music website I read laid into this list for it's lack of Country artists and I've heard other disagreements about it as well. Now they want to sell a book for $450? That's hilarious.

 

[infinitejest]

If only the list wasn’t garbage

So true. It’s even worse than all the Rolling Stone crap they’ve been putting out lately.

 

[freedomlinux]

And of course the music artists will get a % of that $450...

... right? 😐

 

[jayryco]

Cool book - but man that top 100 list is all over the place.

I think a user polled top 100 list from a selected 500 or so albums would've perhaps made more sense.

My mistake! Thank you for the correction — I've been wrong all along!

450 for a printed wikipedia page

The only exciting part about this to me is it means there’s still a chance of them making another book like Designed by Apple in California one day. I missed the first print and will never pay the prices it goes for on eBay. This new one seems extremely lame in comparison despite being even more expensive at retail.

If you're really looking for an Apple BookBook:

So 2015.

Tim Cook blasting with ideas just before investors boot him out? Nice. I got an idea for him to make it work even better, he needs to establish Apple University and become a professor there to make students buy these books to pass the entry exams. He might even get funding from Apple

Save your money or buy an expensive coffee table book filled with art, not fluffy editorial lacking meaningful insight into a dull list of albums.

If you really want to get up close with album artwork, use iTunes Artwork Finder to download the high-res versions for close inspection. I’m pretty confident the words in this will offer no unique insights into the music it’s meant to showcase. a good part of mainstream music discourse these days is predictable crap.
