The photo on the left is the Japanese version. The translation of Mr. Kazutoshi Otani is polite and familiar as usual. In translated versions, there are many cases where INDEX at the end of the book is omitted, but in this book, it is also wonderful that the index is faithfully attached to the original and neatly in accordance with the Japanese version. The Cover page design and Japanese subtitle are rated separately compared to the original book, but I wish to have used the recent picture of Jobs for the cover design of the book.

STEVE JOBS
Although
inside the front cover is “Printed in Hong Kong”, it seems to be planned
by a publisher headquartered in New York.
Compared to
Real-Life Reader Biography, detailed description is given and it is
intended for readers of junior high school level.
The source and bibliography at the
end of the book such as Jim Carlton's Apple and other familiar books are
lined up, so the content is ordinary, but there are several small column
pages called “Tech Talk” that is characterized several keywords related to
personal computer are explained such as “interpreted Language vs Compiled
Language etc.”
Joe MorseIllustration of the cover drawn by
the illustrator Joe Morse, is a distinctive touch but is not similar to
Jobs himself. |
