This is not included in the print version. “His innovations command front page news, speculation of his health affects the stock market. Not bad for a college dropout” said Bluewater president Darren G.Davis. “His story, and that of Apple, is epic. I'm surprised it took us this long to publish a proper, balanced biography of him,” said Davis. “Steve Jobs was my hero, he changed the way we all live today. This book will not only celebrate him, but portions of the proceeds will go to The American Cancer Society in his honor, He will be missed greatly.” Meghan Kilduff, Publisher of Paperless Publishing According to Bluewater, the impetus to publish the Jobs biography was based on the demand and success of Bluewater's biography comic featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook published last spring. The expanded graphic novel edition is also exclusively on the NOOK and Kindle. High-resolution images and interview opportunities are available upon request.
