Honestly I've seen books like this before but pricing might be a bit ridiculous

If they're gonna dedicate it to Jobs at least have all profits go to cancer research or something.
Only retarded fanboys are gonna buy this.
But I KIND of see why they would want to do this...Apple design is iconic, and many fashion designers have released similar books on their designs...

I don't think it's priced outrageously (was reading LV ones are $500 and Ferrari are in the 4-digits)
but seems pathetic given there's no anniversary tied to it and it's a blatant holiday rush cash cow

It's a coffee table book. No different than home design, cars, etc

The second book is going to be called the PowerBook. It's going to be thinner, lighter, and won't have any fans.

ridiculously expensive coffee table books are a popular thing for people with money and nothing to do, they usually involve architecture, fashion, cars, travel though
im sure they'll sell out, ridiculous, but still

Following their trend to remove stuff from their devices, I was somewhat expecting the book to have nothing but blank pages. "Book can only be read by using Apple Vision dongle glasses" *Sold separately, $400.00 MSRP

Ha, I can already picture it. Yuppie couple with a loft in China town. Have a canvas print of a Veyron engine but they themselves have no idea what they're looking at.

$300?!
And I thought my Singer book was expensive at $150. Least the latter is completely worth it...
