Authorized Biography of Steve Jobs to Debut October 24th

Pre-ordered this last night. Really exciteted to get this earlier than planned!

What a better way to remember the great things that Steve did than read a book all about him :)
 
"Isaacson last interviewed Jobs four weeks ago, at which time Jobs knew that he would die soon. The final interview will be included as a scene at the end of the book."


Just... wow. It will be a difficult read, but can't wait.

Preordered hardcover... I haven't read a book in its entirety since high school. I'll probably read this one cover to cover. Twice.
 
I hope he really opened up to this author to share with us some of his thoughts without holding back anything. As a brilliant marketer he always knew what not to say.

He obviously also knew he was dying and the book could be appropriately called, one last thing.
 
I pre-ordered back in August and just changed my shipping address from my home to my college address (was supposed to be coming out while I was home on holiday). I cannot wait for this book, as it will teach us so many things we never knew before.
 
Will be pre-ordering with my iPod Touch on Amazon. Haven't bought a book for pleasure in years.

Yep. I canceled my Kindle pre-order and pre-ordered the hard cover.

Get both (and iBooks too)!

Hopefully it lives up to the hype. It is very difficult to capture the life of someone like Steve Jobs in a single book. That said, it sounds like Steve really opened up to the author.

Pre-ordered on Amazon, cannot wait for it. :)

This is the one time I recommend a hard copy book over an ebook.

Actually, considering this is Steve Jobs, the premiere tech leader of his generation, wouldn't choosing a paper book over a digital one be a bit ironic?
 
I cannot wait to read this. Hopefully it will provide the most intriguing, and respectful insight into this wonderful man's life. I was sure this would get bumped up, and very happy to see the increased interest.

Steve, you were a great man who changed the world and a hero to many, including myself.

Thank you.

That would be a perfect title:


One Last Thing...

The Life of Steve Jobs
 
My iTunes card wasn't being accepted so I pre-ordered it on Amazon (hardcover), however I will buy the iBooks version was well. :)
 
Just got the Hard Copy pre Ordered, As much as I would Like it on the Ipad I want a hard copy to Keep
 
I don't think I've ever been this excited about reading a book (I'm NOT a big reader). This will definitely be a must-read! Of course, it'll be read on iBooks.
 
I'm walking on thin ice financially these days, but I just pre-ordered my copy from Amazon (I would have gotten it from iBooks if I owned an iPad). I'm glad it's affordable and should be a comforting and fascinating read for those of us who admired him.

I'm sure they are in the process of updating everyone's shipping estimates as there was a tremendous increase in sales of the book as of yesterday.
 
I just pre-ordered mine from Barnes and Noble. Free shipping is always nice.

Nice. Shipping confirmation, but it says 10/24. That means those who buy it in the store will get it first? What's the point of pre-order?
