From USA Today featured author Brian Barton...

What happens when you enter Apple’s top secret design lab without permission? What did Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, write in his 13-word email to the author? And, what’s the scene really like at Apple’s Cupertino campus? The answers are in Words with Steve Jobs.

Join the author, an ex Apple freelance employee, on a joyous (non-proprietary) romp through his tenure at the company’s Cupertino headquarters. You’ll get a unique view on Macworld 1997, the “Get a Mac” ad campaign, and the lunchtime crowd at Caffé Macs—even Apple’s hip designers. Words with Steve Jobs is an essay about Apple during its salad days.

A Note From the Author: Please take my book reviews with a grain of salt. Critical reviews are fine but fake reviews cross the line. Even reviews that have Real NameTM badges may be suspect. But there’s a solution. Buy a book and decide for yourself. All books are 100% refundable. I work hard on these titles and think you’ll enjoy them. Thank you.—B.B.
