Reviews
Praise for the first edition of Cult of Mac: "Kahney embarked on his journey to chronicle the weird world of Mac addicts last year, and I think he nailed it. If you have iPod-clutching, Macintosh-using, Woz-loving, Newton-worshiping cultists in your circle of friends, get 'em this book. But even if you you're not a HyperCard-carrying member of the club, the book is worth a look. Kahney has uncovered some real characters on the scene." --San Francisco Chronicle "Mr. Kahney's informal history of the Mac is interspersed with trivia and delightful details, and intriguing photos, and is wrapped up in an entertaining style. This is a coffee table book that only a geek might love -- but it's also one lots of people will enjoy reading." --Washington Times "This account of Macintosh fanaticism will strike a chord with anyone who's ardently defended (or cursed) an operating system... sure to end up on Quadra-based coffee tables everywhere." --Wired Magazine Winner: Outstanding Book of the Year -- Most Unique Design. Octopod Studios (No Starch Press) --Independent Publisher Book Awards 2005

Synopsis
It's been nearly fifteen years since Apple fans raved over the first edition of the critically-acclaimed The Cult of Mac . This long-awaited second edition brings the reader into the world of Apple today while also filling in the missing history since the 2004 edition, including the creation of Apple brand loyalty, the introduction of the iPhone, and the death of Steve Jobs. Apple is a global luxury brand whose products range from mobile phones and tablets to streaming TVs and smart home speakers. Yet despite this dominance, a distinct subculture persists, which celebrates the ways in which Apple products seem to encourage self-expression, identity, and innovation. The beautifully designed second edition of The Cult of Mac takes you inside today's Apple fandom to explore how devotions--new and old--keep the fire burning. Join journalists Leander Kahney and David Pierini as they explore how enthusiastic fans line up for the latest product releases, and how artists pay tribute to Steve Jobs' legacy in sculpture and opera. Learn why some photographers and filmmakers have eschewed traditional gear in favor of iPhone cameras. Discover a community of collectors around the world who spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy, restore, and enshrine Apple artifacts, like the Newton MessagePad and Apple II. Whether you're an Apple fan or just a casual observer, this second edition of The Cult of Mac is sure to reveal more than a few surprises, offering an intimate look at some of the most dedicated members in the Apple community., This fully-revised edition of the bestselling The Cult of Mac takes a look at today's Apple fanatics and the subculture surrounding the company.

    Per USPS tracking, my book appeared to be "stuck" at the distribution center for ten days. I contacted the seller, who followed up immediately, refunded me, and sent me an impeccably packed copy to gift my MIL on Mother's Day! The timeliness and concern of this seller is sooo appreciated, even though the issue was not their fault! Thanks to rvasurplus2llc, I am still the favorite DIL!

    Quality of item is as described. Condition new. Value is definitely worth the price! Appearance is like new or new - exterior packaging could have been better but they were in bubble wrap so cannot complain! Thanks for your timely shipment!

    Badly Mistitled

    There is very little info in this book that is new or worth learning about. The text is dull, and most of the book is about Apple products other than the Mac. Skip it.
