Revolution in the Valley
Tuesday, January 11th, 2005
Revolution in the Valley is the book that Andy Hertzfeld has just had published from the stories he and others have collected at Folklore.org.
Here is his post about the making of the book at Folklore.org.
If the stories are already online and free, why buy the book? The design, photographs, and editing of the stories make this a must-have book for any Mac user, historian, groupie, evangelist, Jobs-watcher, or just plain old nut.
Now, how to get it signed… and by how many of the original team…
Just read some of the reviews; this book looks great. I’ll check at the bookstore; also The Cult of Mac reviews are interesting.
I have the cult of Mac and this book is better: Hertzfeld is the real thing, the guy who wrote The Cult of Mac is an excellent writer working for WIRED but he’s not one of the old timers. I have nothing against journalists and it’s a good book, but this one is THE ONE to get.
I agree about “Cult”; it doesn’t compare to Hertzfeld’s book. I’ll probably order “Revolution” online (it’s so new that there are no discounts in the Barnes & Noble retail store).
