Kanye West is assembling a "deluxe volume" book chronicling last year's "Glow In The Dark" world tour that featured guest appearances by the likes of Jay-Z, Gnarls Barkley, Rihanna and N.E.R.D.
"Kanye West has turned his talents as a pop artist to books," Charlies Miers from publisher Rizzoli New York told E! News.
"With a CD that includes Star Wars-like symphonics from the show as well as an interview with ["Flashing Lights" video co-director] 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."
The book will apparently include photos, sketches and set lists, and you can definitely expect LOTS OF CAPITALIZED LETTERS. It was originally planned for a spring release, but has been pushed back to the fall.
West will tape an episode of VH1 Storytellers in Los Angeles on Feb. 13. Fan club members can win tickets to the show by entering a contest on his website.
