How Many Books About Apple Do You Own?

There’s a new book about Apple in the early, early days. This is yet another to be added to my collection.

The new book is entitled iWoz. It’s from the other Steve, co-founder Steve Wozniak, the engineering genius behind Apple’s first computers.

Where’s Wozniak selling his new book? On the Apple Campus in Cupertino, where he’s still an employee? Nope.

He’s selling his new book to Microsoft employees in Seattle, who lined up in an overflow crowd to hear the Woz speak.

It’s a book tour. Woz is selling iWoz and that requires trips around the country, interviews, radio shows, even The Daily Show.

A Seattle newspaper reports that Wozniak visited with a crowd of Microsoft employees, and shared thoughts with reporter Todd Bishop.

That got me to thinking. How many Apple books do I have in my collection (iWoz is on order from Amazon)?

There’s a stack. Rather, it’s a row, and almost a whole row on the bookshelf. One of the first was Accidental Millionaire: The Rise and Fall of Steve Jobs at Apple Computer.

I’ve also got the recent iCon: Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business. You won’t find that at an Apple Store.

There’s also Steve Jobs: The Journey is the Reward. Author Jeffrey Young has a few Apple books to his credit. Steve had hair in the photo of that book.

There’s Alan Deutschman’s The Second Coming of Steve Jobs.

I like Apple Confidential 2.0 by Owen Linzmayer. There’s not as many books about the other Steve.

One of my favorites is Andy Hertzfeld’s Revolution in the Valley: How The Mac Was Made.

The Apple Way by Jeffrey Cruitshank talks about Jobs’ return to Apple, the iMac and other persepctives.

The oldest book in my collection is also in the worst shape. The Little Kingdom: The Private Story of Apple Computer has been loaned one too many times.

I’ve got my share of Killer Tips books, Mac OS X books—Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger.

How about you? Do you have a few Apple or Mac books on your bookshelf? What’s your favorite? What’s the worst? If you don’t own a book about Apple, Jobs, Woz, or Mac OS X, why not?
