In 1989 Guy Kawasaki published his book, The Macintosh Way documenting the trials and tribulations of his time at Apple trying to make the Mac a viable alternative to the IBM PC. We have a copy in the Booknook in the Reference section. 
It's hard to believe it now with Apple the most profitable company in the history of the world, having sold 243 million iOS devices and 19 million Macintosh computers in 2014, but life at Apple wasn't always so sweet and delicious. Back when the Mac was born, Apple was struggling to stay alive and some were quoted as saying that "it is all over but the crying." Guy was a real believer in the Macintosh, the first computer evangelist and inventor of the term The Art Of Guerilla Management. Guy is still very active and vocal about his passions. Come pick up this book and learn about the early days at Apple. Just $1!

We have some interesting folks portrayed in the Biography section of the Booknook. At polar opposites politically are Sarah Palin in Going Rogue: An American Life and Barack Obama's The Audacity Of Hope. Moving to the topic of space we have First Man: The Life Of Neil A. Armstrong and Barbara Eden's autobiography Jeannie Out Of The Bottle. What do those two have in common? Remember the pretense of the TV show I Dream Of Jeannie. Major Nelson played by Larry Hagman, who later starred in Dallas, was an American astronaut who splashed down the Pacific Ocean during a mission, landed on an island, found a bottle and opened it to find Jeannie inside! Astronauts and space were all the rage in 1960's and the antics of the otherwise professional and proper Major Nelson saddled with the troublesome and impetuous Jeannie led to no end of hilarious story lines for the writers.

We have a large selection of John Jakes novels in the Fiction section, under J of course. Mr. Jakes wrote a large number of books on historical fiction and one of his trilogies on the Civil War was made into a mini-series for ABC television. His website is at http://www.johnjakes.com/
