Subject: Join the _Cult of Mac
Date: 19 Oct 2004 19:20:01 GMT
***MEDIA ALERT***
JOIN THE CULT OF MAC WITH LEANDER KAHNEY AS YOUR "SPIRITUAL GUIDE"
Contact Patricia Witkin to request a review copy or schedule an author
interview: patricia@nostarch.com or 415.863.9900.
PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REQUESTED A REVIEW COPY, IT HAS BEEN
SHIPPED AND WILL BE ARRIVING SHORTLY.
WHAT: The much-anticipated hardcover book The Cult of Mac is arriving in
stores nationwide. Find out the lengths to which people will go to
personalize their hardware and adopt a Mac-centric lifestyle, as
documented in The Cult of Mac's 280 full-color pages and more than 500
original photos. It's full of people doing innovative, bizarre and
artistic things with their computers (such as the guy who makes furniture
out of cardboard Mac boxes and many who express their love with tattoos),
as well as interesting tidbits and trivia about the company, its history
and its personalities.
AUTHOR INFO: Leander Kahney covers Apple and the Mac community for Wired
News, where his Cult of Mag blog has been a reader favorite for several
years. He treats his subjects with humor but with fondness too. His
experiences interacting with Mac fanatics and attending Mac events around
the world are highly entertaining and introduce an element of human warmth
you wouldn't expect from technology.
WHO CARES? Anyone who's ever been passionate about a hobby will love this
story. Anyone who watches reality TV to see actual people being their
actual nutty selves will love this story. It's not just for techno-geeks
or Mac users.
