2005-04-27 by GAmoore@aol.com
The forthcoming biography, due to be published next month by John Wiley & Sons Inc., details Steve Jobs’ second rise to power at Apple, following his departure, the founding of NeXT, Jobs’ return to Apple in the mid-90s, the development of the iMac and the iPod, and the success of Pixar, the animation studio Jobs runs alongside Apple.
Apple’s reaction to the book, according to Young and corroborated by the corporate communications director for the publisher, was to remove Wiley & Sons’ other Macintosh-related technical books from the shelves of Apple retail stores. Wiley publishes technical volumes including the popular “For Dummies” series.
