Default Apple II book

Wonder when Alex is going to release his Apple IIGS book? Apple II
community deserves at least one Apple II book.

With the release of iBooks Author, wonder any Apple II historian/fan
willing to write an eBook that I can buy?

To do an experiment, I have converted most of Apple II History (http://
apple2history.org)'s text to eBook using iBooks Author. The result is
pretty amazing (at least to me!) and I have contacted Steven to see
whether I can release it but don't put much hope (or at least get him
to release one himself so I can buy it)! If I can release it in some
ways it will be either a free book or let Steven sells it.

For those interested in how an Apple II book might look like, check
out my Facebook site and I will put some screenshots on it.

Unfortunately I did not get Steven to allow me to distribute the
iBook, even in limited format (e.g., a few chapters). The good news is
that he is probably going to write a book himself, which is probably
world first Apple II related history book!

I am waiting eagerly for his book. Hopefully we can see Alex's book
sometimes in the future.

PS: if there is any good Apple II related open content that I can use
to design a free iBook for all to see, let me know!
