MacVoices #26232: Briefing - Why David Pogue's 'Apple: The First 50 Years' Is Worth Experiencing Twice

David Pogue's authoring style turns Apple: The First 50 Years from what could have been names and dates into a richly illustrated journey through Apple's successes, failures, products, personalities, and untold stories. The print edition combines rare photos with approachable narratives and clever sidebars, while David's audiobook narration, musical touches, and energetic performance add a different dimension to the story, making the audio edition a must-listen.
