Back in 2019, Rihanna released her first-ever autobiography with Phaidon, featuring over 1,000 photographs from her childhood, world tours and beyond. Now, the star has returned with a queen-sized iteration of the book.

"Reading is fundamental," Riri shared on Instagram with photos of herself posing at the pool in a swimsuit with her new release. Measuring 656 millimeters tall and 500 millimeters wide, the volume is certainly for "fashion, music, and photography lovers and collectors," as described by the global publisher. Just like the original The Rihanna Book, the queen-sized version features photos that illustrate her upbringing in Barbados, as well as her career and personal moments with her family.

Spanning 504 pages with over 1,000 images, the book is "hand-sewn and bound in bespoke padded Japanese-designed fabric," which boasts a shiny finish. The cover is rounded out with a laser-cut steel logo. Meanwhile, the endpapers are custom-designed by The Haas Brothers.

Limited to 500 copies worldwide, The Rihanna Book: Queen Size retails for £995 GBP (approximately $1,391 USD) via Phaidon's online store.
