“The production team at the venerable TV newsmagazine show ’60 Minutes’ have posted a tweet revealing that Walter Isaacson, the historian and biographer who has written Jobs’ authorized account of his life, will be on the show Sunday night to discuss the book, simply entitled Steve Jobs, and the man behind it,” MacNN reports.
“Steve Kroft will be handling the interview, providing the first detailed insight into the biography, which hits stores Monday,” MacNN reports. “Isaacson earlier today contacted Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak via social networks to reassure him that his comments on Jobs did indeed make it into the book, which was revised and expanded following Jobs’ death earlier this month.”

I preordered through Barnes and Noble. For only a dollar more you get the hard back.
I did as well. Think this book will be of such great personal value and a great collectors item for sentimental people such as myself. I will however order a copy for my iPad to always have it within reach. I will reread books that I have enjoyed over the years and I’m certain this will be one of them.
+1
Let’s hope they issue this as an audiobook soon after the release.
Given the fame of Steve Jobs, his recent passing and the timely arrival of the first and only official biography, this book is a guaranteed winner. It will be a sad bookend to the Steve Jobs story. We will get to know him from a new perspective while still in grief.
If you set your DVR to record, be sure to record the show afterwards as well. Due to afternoon football, shows always run late on CBS.
