It's the same treatment given such luminaries as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and Christopher Hitchens and offers Jobs's views on life, death, technology and design, among other topics. --Washington Post Steve Jobs, whose resume twice cites "the vision thing," has given us some truly memorable quotes. --FoxNews.com
Fortune magazine proclaimed Jobs "the CEO of the decade." Harvard Business Review called him "the world's best-performing CEO." And the Wall Street Journal praised him as a "Person of the Decade."
The longtime CEO of Apple, Inc., which he co-founded in 1976, Steve Jobs stepped down from that role in August 2011, not long before his untimely death on October 5, 2011, bringing an end to one of the greatest, most transformative business careers in history. Over the years, Jobs has given countless interviews to the media, explaining what he calls "the vision thing"--his unmatched ability to envision, and bring to the marketplace, consumer products that people find simply irresistible.
Steve Jobs has made an indelible mark in multiple industries, and several of which he played an enormous role in creating. Consider the mark made by Jobs and Apple in the following fields: personal computers (laptop and desktop), apps (for multiple electronic devices), computer animation (Pixar), music (iTunes), telecommunications (iPhone), personal digital devices (iPod), books (iBook), and, most recently, tablets (iPad). Jobs is the greatest business visionary of this era. He has given us entertainment and productivity tools that fit seamlessly into our personal and professional lives, and transformed the ways in which we work and play.
Drawn from more than three decades of media coverage—-print, electronic, and online—-this book serves up the best, most thought-provoking insights spoken by Steve Jobs: more than two hundred quotations that are essential reading for everyone who seeks innovative solutions applicable to their business, regardless of size. It's the perfect gift or reference item for everyone interested in this great American original.
I, Steve makes a great corporate training or sales gift. For bulk sales pricing, contact Eileen Johnson at johnson@agatepublishing.com.
Doug Seibold, president and publisher of Agate, joins Fox's KSWB-San Diego to discuss I, Steve and how it is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest visionaries of our era.

There have been many books written about Jobs before and after his recent death, however, if you really want to know what made him tick, there is nothing better than to hear from the master himself

This handy 160-page paperback groups Jobs' quotes by subject and is the kind of book you want to have handy when you need a moment of inspiration.
- Mike Cote
Forbes magazine Oct 6, 2011
The book, which was edited by George Beahm, contains Jobs' thoughts about product design, his $1 annual salary and Apple's popular 'Think, Different' ad campaign. The format, arranged alphabetically by topic, is as simple as the book's premise.

It is a sad day, and one to remember and celebrate the life of one of the most insightful, brilliant, successful--and, yes--quotable geniuses in tech history.

The kind of book that you read, think about, and then pass on to a friend or colleague...I learned a lot about Jobs' thinking process.

Steve Jobs, who brought the world the iPhone, the iPad, the iPod and so much more, has left a rich history, both of technological innovations and of thoughts about what people want from them. Perhaps it's inevitable that a book about him would be titled I, Steve.

Miami Herald Oct 6, 2011
"In 2010, with the end of the decade, people began to wake up to what an enormous impact [Jobs] was having not just in technology but in media and entertainment," said Doug Seibold, president of Agate Publishing, Inc., explaining why his company agreed last year to publish a compilation of Jobs' quotes. The book, I, Steve: Steve Jobs In His Own Words, will be published next month.

A much better Jobs product is coming soon. It'll entertain you for hours, and no — it is not a Jobs-branded iPad or anything similarly high-tech. It is, friends, an old-fashioned book!

Quotations
"His experience with Pixar was representative of the same kind of acumen and vision that he showed at Apple," said Doug Seibold, president and publisher of Agate, which will soon release "I, Steve: Steve Jobs in his Own Words." "One of the things that comes up over and over again in 'I, Steve' is his belief that in order to really satisfy what people wanted, you had to look beyond what people were doing right now, and even beyond what people were telling you they wanted, in order to see the next thing."
