AceShowbiz - Hip-hop famous artist Kanye West is channeling his diverse inner creativity to write a coffee table book, which he is working on in partnership with publishing house Rizzoli and has been set to be released in October later this year. Fashion Week Daily which breaks the report claims that the set, dubbed "Kanye West: Glow in the Dark," will feature "a record of the Grammy-winning artist's tour", "Glow in the Dark", and also "his life on the road, that includes his hectic schedule full of fashion parties and trips to exclusive shopping destinations."
Publishing house Rizzoli, meanwhile, claims "Kanye West: Glow in the Dark" will cover Kanye's "original sketches and concepts; 3-D models and construction of the stage; concept art for 'J.A.N.E.'; costume designs (including his Grace Jones-inspired outfits for opening act Rihanna); and blog of his journey." Additionally, the coffee table book is said to also include a USB device packed with previously unreleased music. An interview with Kanye's inspiration, music video director Spike Jonze, will also be included in the coffee table book. The set has been confirmed to be sold for $50.
"Kanye West has turned his talents as pop artist to books," Charlies Miers, VP and publisher at Rizzoli New York, has been quoted as telling E! News about Kanye's upcoming book. "With a CD that includes Star Wars-like symphonics from the show as well as interview with Spike Jonze, it is not only a memento of one of the most successful musical performances of the year, it is an experience all its own."
Writing a book, in fact, isn't something new for Kanye West as he previously has released another book, titled "Thank You and You're Welcome", back in 2007.
