But now that Ive has stepped forward to lend his trademark British elocution to the reasoning behind the book -- at one point even flipping through its pages in the video -- it suddenly seems book may be less a fanboy catalog than an Apple design bible.

Ive's involvement is vocal perfection gently but firmly nudging you to "buy the history of Apple, damnit."

And even if you don't buy Ive's direct endorsement of the book, what the video does offer is a rare look at Apple's secretive design lab.

We see everything from groups of designers brainstorming to technical work being done in a futuristic clean room.

Still, even opening up Apple's rarely seen design lab and adding Ive's authoritative British lilt to the equation, it's still a pretty hard sell to get us to part with $300 for what we can see here for free.
