Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has handed his biographer a publicity bonanza to on the eve of the publication of his latest book.
Top science and tech publisher John Wiley says that Apple has pulled all Wiley titles from Apple's own retail stores in retaliation against a new biography of the billionaire fruitarian. Apple stores are telling customers that such popular titles as Mac for Dummies and Mac OS X Secrets as "out of stock".
The book iCon (Steve Jobs : The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business), by Jeffrey Young and William Simon [ Amazon.com - publisher's page ] is a follow-up to Young's 1987 bio The Journey Is the Reward, and is scheduled for publication at the end of May.
"It became increasingly clear that Apple was not happy with the publication of the book," Wiley executive told the San Jose Mercury.
