I was looking at Apple's 2016 book 'Designed by Apple in California' and was looking to buy a copy but I still can't understand the $500 price tag.

Does anyone else have a copy that they no longer require? Also what are your thoughts on the book. Mods please move to correct category if placed wrong.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Even at $329, it's over priced!!

Does that book cost more than an actual Bentley ? Because that book had a awful lot of $$$ attached to it.

Pfft... pretty sure there will be a PDF copy floating around somewhere.

Wonder if Auckland Libraries has a copy of the book..... :D

Tried looking for one and couldn't see a PDF copy of it. Still searching for it though.

If you wanted to make a hard copy of the PDF, you'd need a 3D printer to do the cover - all the bling etc.
