Kim Kardashian's new book set for release.

Kim Kardashian's much-anticipated book, 'Selfish' is set for a pre-Christmas release and will feature "2000 selfies".

Kim revealed that the book was the brainchild of husband Kanye West and the 352 pages contains thousands of her self-captured photos.

She 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 2000 selfies.''

She added: "I've been taking selfies for a long time - it's 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."

She even gave her top tips on how to take the best selfies explaining: "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."


*Talk of vanity!
