Apple attacks John Wiley and Sons
In a Draconian move, Apple has yanked all books from John Wiley and Sons from the shelves of their over 100 stores last week. Wiley publishes dozens of books on Apple products.
Wiley is publishing "iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business" in a few weeks, and Apple has been unsuccessful in convincing them to not publish it.
Coauthor Jeffrey Young says, "I thought the book was pretty positive." Young also wrote the best selling 1987 unauthorized biography of Steve Jobs, which from distant memory I would describe as not being entirely positive. Certainly Jobs' weaknesses and shortcomings as well as successes and strong points were covered.
This book is getting a lot of press because of Apple's bizarre moves. I can't say I approve of Apple actions despite being a fan of the company as well as Jobs.
I'm going to preorder it from Amazon just because of Apple's actions!!
