April 11 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs’s biography, drawn from three years of interviews with the executive, will be published early next year, according to CBS Corp.’s Simon & Schuster.
The book, called “iSteve: The Book of Jobs,” will be based on interviews that author Walter Isaacson has held with Jobs and his family, the publishing company said in an e-mailed statement yesterday. Isaacson, who’s written biographies of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, also interviewed colleagues at Apple and competitors, it said.
“This is the perfect match of subject and author,” said Jonathan Karp, publisher of Simon & Schuster, calling Jobs “one of the world’s greatest innovators.”
Simon & Schuster didn’t disclose terms of book deal. Steve Dowling, a spokesman for Apple, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
CBS fell 31 cents to $24.27 in New York Stock Exchange trading on April 8 and have climbed 27 percent this year. Apple fell $3.02 to $335.06 in Nasdaq Stock Market trading and has gained 3.9 percent this year.
