The book "Designed by Apple in California" is no longer available in the Apple Store online

In November 2016, Apple published a book entitled "Designed by Apple in Cupertino", a book that highlights the history of the company in terms of product design, a book whose price in Europe reaches 199 euros. Although at the time of writing, the book still available, on the online website the link to confirm your purchase is no longer available.

By clicking on the purchase link, the page returns an error when trying to redirect to a page that doesn't exist. This follows a side period of unavailability in the United States, implying that the Cupertino-based company has no plans to continue printing more copies of this book.

The Designed by Apple book was released in two versions of different sizes and prices, both hardcover.

  • 26 × 32,4 cm at a price of 199 euros
  • 33 × 41,3 cm at a price of 299 euros

In the description of this book Apple states that:

Designed by Apple in California »illustrates 20 years of design at Apple through 450 photos of products and the process behind them. The book collects creations ranging from the iMac to the Apple Pencil and documents the techniques and materials used in great detail. It has been printed on special German paper with matt silver edges, eight color separations, and ink that does not fade. The eight years it has taken us to create this book are proof that it is made with as much care and an obsession for detail as our products. It is a testament to as well as a tribute to the design, engineering and manufacturing processes that distinguish Apple.

I can't quite understand why Apple has been able to stop selling this book that is part of history of the company in the last 20 years. It is history and nothing can change. Although it is true that it does not have a very attractive price, surely there are followers of the company who would be delighted to be able to get hold of it, sooner or later.
