It's becoming impossible to get away from Kanye's self-important features, and it's only a matter of time before he projects an image of his face onto the moon so that undiscovered Amazonian tribes can hate him (without quite knowing why).

 

So Kanye is currently compiling photos from his 'Glow In The Dark' tour, ready to publish them in a book alongside some of his usual nuggets of wisdom like 'This is me on a stage' and 'This is me with some of my shoes and shit.' The book will also include some set designs, some costume designs and a CD containing Kanye's music.

 

Charles Miers of Rizzoli publishing is the one to blame, and it sounds as though there's a little bit of Kanye's bullshit spirit coursing through his veins.

 

"Kanye West has turned his talents as pop artist to books. With a CD that includes 'Star Wars'-like symphonies from the show as well as an 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."

 

I take it all back. It sounds utterly brilliant. The book will be published in October, so all in all the perfect stocking-filler for someone you detest.
