It seems besides producing iPods, Apple has nothing better to do than going against book publishers. According to
Associated Press, Apple removed dozens of John Wiley & Sons books last week from all 104 of its stores after failing to persuade the publisher not to release the unauthorized Steve Jobs biography
iCon Steve Jobs: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business. It should be obvious even to Apple fanatics that this is not a way of making new friends:
"Pulling books off the shelf is a little draconian," said Rob Frankel, a brand consultant. "It reeks of repression."
We are confident that at least the book's author, Jeffrey Young, won't be too upset for this kind of unanticipated publicity.
