4.0 out of 5 stars Fun -- but when's the new edition coming?, January 8, 2002

By	J. F. Boyd "Writer and Librarian" (Portland, Oregon, US) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Mac Bathroom Reader is one of the more quirky books about Apple Computer and its equally unusual story. Mostly filled with trivia relating to the most obscure Macintosh information, this is definitely a book for serious Mac users or those who really get into Silicon Valley culture.

It's also great in telling the first two parts of the Steve Jobs tale, his rise and his fall. Unfortunately, as this book was published before Jobs' return in 1997, it is missing a large part of recent Apple history, including the creation of the iMac, Microsoft's 'grant' to Apple, and the beginning of Mac OS X.

In any case, Linzmayer's storytelling skills are sharp and playful in this book and no serious Mac fan should be without it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Exactly the same as Apple Confidential, April 2, 2000

By	macsterdam (Amsterdam, NH Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Extremely disappointing. This is exactly the same book as Apple Confidential (which is an excellent book), so I feel like I bought the same book TWICE :((((

1.0 out of 5 stars Get Apple Confidential, December 26, 2000

By	Michael Murphy (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This book is basicly the exact same book as Apple Confidential. I would suggest you pass on this book and buy that one instead, it is much better and more up-to-date.
