Anyone buying the Steve Jobs biography?

[ftw]

I'm actually pretty excited about it.

Amazon.com: iSteve: The Book of Jobs [Hardcover]

Should be a great read for Apple fans, but also for business people and technophiles.

 

[iLucas]

I will most likely pick up a copy.

 

[Mr. McMac]

no

 

[Cole JM]

I already preordered it.

 

[yetanotherdave]

Maybe when it comes out on Kindle...

I'm not much for reading biographies of living people.

Sure. Worth having.

It'll take Ayn Rand's spot on my shelf. Been looking for an excuse to remove and relegate it to doorstop duty.

I'm sure there's a new rumor in that somewhere along with the release date. I will probably read it once it's out. iBooks or Kindle? Sigh.......

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I'm not into biographies, but I might pick this one up whenever a paperback edition is issued... or the hardcover if the reviews are awesome...

Never quite gotten into Kindle/iBooks.

Preorder available, that is how I ordered mine.

Preorder available, that is how I ordered mine.

Couldn't see that, maybe it's not on the UK Kindle store yet.

 

[ntrigue]

Yes, I think I'll read into the life of a visionary that has changed computing.

 

[rdowns]

Pre-ordering a book 9 months before its release. Give me a break.

I'll probably read it.

 

[TheSideshow]

Only if he dies first

 

[AppleScruff1]

If you're truly an Apple fan, you'll have an autographed copy displayed prominently in your home in a glass case.

 

[tom.96]

Yeah I'll buy it, can't wait. I think Steve is fantastic! I actually really enjoyed Steve W's autobio, iWoz too.

 

[Pink∆Floyd]

Yes I will be pre-ordering

 

[bruinsrme]

Gonna wait for the movie

 

[184550]

From the sound/ looks of things, maybe I will be able to read the biography when it comes out next year.

Did Jobs ever apologize to Wozniak for his $2000+ swindle? That was a lot of money for young guys back then. It's still a lot today for people of any age.

Every Mac I buy, I'm paying about what he stole....

I think you have to wonder why Steve Jobs has now opened up to a biographer about his private life and why the cover of the book has a picture of him from about 30 years ago.

I can't say I've ever seen a biography of a living person that doesn't have a recent photo of them on the front cover. It looks like one you'd choose to reflect on Steve's legacy, not his future (he is a very forward looking person).

Given Jobs looked very sick at WWDC and this book doesn't come out until March 2012, unfortunately I think you have to consider that he may not have that long left.

 

[strik]

I really can't wait until the book comes out, I just hope they go fairly in-depth on his life, warts and all. It has the potential of being fluffy on details. Not that I want to pry into his personal life, but I would like to hear both the good and the bad and behind the scenes on matters.

 

[roadbloc]

It may be an interesting read. I'll wait until it's in Tesco's bargin bin.

 

[jav6454]

I'll probably read it as a loan from a friend or from a copy of a local library.

 

[garybUK]

He's always been known as having a sandwich short of a picnic. I bet it's an interesting read.

I wouldn't recommend borrowing a certain *SOMEONE*'s around here, pages will probably be stuck together
