The classic edition of The Book of HOV is presented in JAY-Z blue, a color that has become a symbol of his vision and legacy. Shawn "JAY-Z" Carter has established himself as a visionary and cultural icon. The extraordinary book The Book of HOV celebrates his innovative career and the one-of-a-kind immersive exhibition, The Book Of HOV: A Tribute. Held at the Brooklyn Public Library, from July to December 2023 The Book Of HOV: A Tribute attracted over 600,000 visitors, making it one of the largest public installations in U.S. history. This title by Assouline commemorates and immortalizes the immersive installation, showcasing in one place the thousands of archival objects from every aspect of JAY-Z's professional life, including masters of original recordings, stage clothes, interviews, videos, awards and unpublished photographs. Readers will find everything from the guitar that JAY-Z played at the Glastonbury Festival (the first rapper to tread that rock-and-roll stage) to Daniel Arsham's sculpture "HOV Hands" (the iconic gesture, made famous by JAY-Z and seen in his concerts around the world), from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame award (JAY-Z is the first solo hip hop artist to be inducted) to hundreds of paper planes (inside which the New York school children wrote their dreams). With eight chapters (each title is taken from JAY-Z's lyrics), The Book Of HOV details the pillars of Shawn Carter's influence, from his artistry and craftsmanship to entrepreneurship and activism. In addition to nearly 700 images, the book includes in-depth essays on the theme of each chapter, which contextualize the icon's achievements and impact on culture. More than a multi-world champion, JAY-Z has broken new ground in a surprising number of areas, both figurative and literal. HOV's book reveals how JAY-Z demonstrates, with all his being, that it is possible to establish one's intention and create one's own story.
