Jay-Z’s ‘The Book of Hov’ Is Now An Actual Coffee Table Book You Can Buy

If you weren’t able to make it out to the Brooklyn Public Library last year to check out the 40,000 square-foot “The Book of HOV” exhibit honoring the legacy of Jay-Z, high-end publisher Assouline has the perfect stocking stuffer for you.

The Book of Hov: A Tribute to Jay-Z is available to order now in a $120 classic edition, as well as a $2,000 ultimate edition and a price-upon-request version for five limited-edition copies. The 432-page book with more than 675 illustrations commemorates the six-month exhibit that drew more than 600,000 visitors, which made it one of the largest public installations in U.S. history.

A description promises that the coffee table book, “commemorates and immortalizes the immersive installation, showcasing in one place the thousands of archived objects from every facet of JAY- Z’s professional life — including original recording masters, stage wear, interviews, videos, awards, and unseen photographs. Readers will find it all, from the guitar JAY-Z played at Glastonbury Festival (the first rapper to grace that rock-and-roll stage) to Daniel Arsham’s sculpture ‘HOV Hands,’ (the iconic gesture, made famous by JAY-Z and seen at his concerts across the globe), to his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame award (JAY-Z is the first solo hip hop artist inducted) to hundreds of paper planes (created schoolchildren across NYC wrote their dreams inside).”

The eight chapters, with titles drawn from the 24-time Grammy winner’s lyrics, cover Jay’s influence, from his artistry to his prison reform activism and entrepreneurship, with in-depth essays on each chapter’s theme. “More than a multi-hyphenate, JAY-Z has broken new ground in an astonishing number of arenas, both figurative and literal,” reads the description from the bespoke publisher of equally hefty tomes Apple Music: 100 Best Albums, James Bond Style, Las Vegas Magic and Rare Cars: The World’s Most Exclusive Rides. “The Book of HOV uncovers how JAY-Z demonstrates — with his whole being — that you can set your intention and create your own story.”
