Kim Kardashian West’s new book features "2,000 selfies".
The reality TV star has revealed the much-anticipated book, ‘Selfish’ – which is set for a pre-Christmas release – was the brainchild of husband Kanye West and the 352 pages contain thousands of her self-captured photos.
Kim, 34, explained to the Evening Standard Magazine: "Kanye came up with the concept and the name and everything.
"He introduced me to the book publisher. And I was like, ‘This is such a good idea, I can’t believe I didn’t think of it.’ It’s 352 pages and multiples on the page, so I turned in probably 2,000 selfies."
Kim – who married 37-year-old Kanye in May this year – has refuted accusations the tome is nothing but a vanity project for her, insisting it is a catalogue of her life and a reflection of the modern world.
The ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star added: "I’ve been taking selfies for a long time – it’s like now [seen as] such a vain thing, but it really started off with me just having a camera around to capture memories. They’re selfies taken over a decade."
Kim – who gave birth to daughter North in June 2013 – has also given her top tips on how to take the best selfie possible.
She explained: "Lighting is key. I think a lot of people take a lot of selfies before they actually post one. So, in the book you’ll definitely see … like I posted this one selfie of myself in a white bathing suit, after I had the baby … it was kind of like from the back in the mirror… and I took about 10 shots to get that one. So I’m probably going to put all ten in there."
