O'Reilly Released "Revolution in the Valley"--How the Mac was Made

From the start, the Mac has been special. It was the first computer to smile at you when you'd boot it up. More significantly, its innovative user interface has influenced the direction of software development on all platforms since it first appeared. Granted, it's had some highs and lows over the years, but as a computer, it's undeniably great. Insanely great. And equally great is the story of how the Mac came into being. Told by Andy Hertzfeld, co-creator of the Mac, Revolution in the Valley (O'Reilly, US $24.95, hardcover) takes readers into the hallways and backrooms of Apple, to where the groundbreaking Macintosh computer was born.
