All About Steve: The Story of Steve Jobs and Apple from the Pages of Fortune (
$1.99), by The Editors of Fortune, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day.
Book Description
Steve Jobs’ legacy is clear: The most innovative business leader of our time, the man FORTUNE named CEO of the Decade in 2009. Now from the pages of FORTUNE comes an anthology of 17 classic stories spanning the years 1983 to 2011 about the cultural icon who revolutionized computing, telephones, movies, music, retailing, and product design. The stories lay out in unparalleled detail the career of a man with relentless drive and a single underlying passion—to carry out his vision of how all of us would use technology. Writes managing editor Andy Serwer in the book’s foreword: “In the end he was proved right a billion times over, and his company Apple became one of the most successful enterprises on the planet.” All these stories are the product of deep reporting. In many cases FORTUNE’s writers spent hours interviewing Jobs and delving into his mind. The result is a singular journalistic collection, which will leave you with a comprehensive picture of Steve Jobs and Apple, a picture that is complex in the making yet simple in its triumph.

About the Authors
Nineteenth-century writer Emily Bronte wrote only one novel in her short lifetime--but it was the tragic tour de force Wuthering Heights, a work of such power and force that it endures to this day. As far as we know, she died a virgin. Here's hoping that she got laid in heaven.
Annabella Bloom is the pseudonym of Beth Williamson, author of The Stranger's Secrets, a multipublished, award-winning author known mostly for her historical and contemporary romance. She writes steamy cowboy romances--"Read a book, ride a cowboy!"--under her own name as well as the pseudonym Emma Lang. She was named a 2009 Career Achievement Award Nominee by Romantic Times magazine.
