Jay-Z’s ‘Book of HOV’ Exhibit Is Now an Actual Book

A new book will commemorate the career-spanning Jay-Z exhibit, 'The Book of HOV,' which ran at the Brooklyn Public Library last year.

Those chapters will contain essays that examine and contextualize the various facets of Jay’s career, like his artistry, business ventures, and activism for criminal and social justice causes. These include never-before-seen photos, as well as various pieces of Jay-related ephemera, many of which were on display at the original exhibit (like the guitar he played at Glastonbury 2008 after Oasis’ Noel Gallagher criticized the decision to book Jay as a headliner). The most dedicated Jay fans can request the price tag for one of five special limited-edition copies featuring bronze slipcase artwork designed by Arsham.
