While this may seem standard practice for the queen of album variants, some were slightly more surprised to hear that she's also releasing a 200+ page, Target exclusive book: The Official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book, which features "personal reflections written by Taylor" and over 500 images from the tour and behind-the-scenes. Interestingly, she's self-publishing it through "Taylor Swift Publications," which means she will likely retain all creative decisions, publishing costs, and receive a much higher royalty rate than a traditionally published author. The book also doesn't have an ISBN, which in publishing is the unique identifying number that librarians, bookstores, distributors, and on-line retailers use to catalogue works.
