“Steve Jobs, who brought the world the iPhone, the iPad, the iPod and so much more, has left a rich history, both of technological innovations and of thoughts about what people want from them,” Ned Potter reports for ABC News.
“Perhaps it’s inevitable that a book about him would be titled “I, Steve.” Agate Publishing of Evanston, Ill., has assembled a 160-page volume of Jobs’ quotations, culled from interviews, public appearances and writings after he co-founded Apple Inc.,” Potter reports. “The book, edited by George Beahm, is due out in November. Its full title: ‘I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words.'”
Potter reports, “Now it so happens that Jobs’ authorized biography, by Walter Isaacson, was at one time going to be titled ‘iSteve.’ It was due out next year, but it was retitled ‘Steve Jobs: A Biography,’ and its publication was moved up to this fall, shortly before Jobs announced in August that his health would force him to step aside as Apple CEO.”

Hell, if you want a book of Steve’s best quotes, you can search out the quotes yourself on the web. I’ve compiled a ton of articles and quotes over the years that I’m sure this book will contain. I won’t be buying it.
