While a moron Reuters reporter thought of making the news today with the most no-news article of the last ten years about the health of Steve Jobs, Daniel Lyons, a.k.a. Fake Steve Jobs, published in a Blurb book edition a large part of his funniest blogs. I went out to order the more expensive edition that counts almost 300 pages of laughter of the best kind.I did something similar in Blurb with posts from my blog here, for my own use a few weeks ago (I mean, I'd be my own only buyer, wouldn't I?) and enjoyed putting it together*. I gotta admit though that Mr Lyons did a far better graphic design job in his book. He also managed to keep the price at an unusually low level, since, I guess, he'd be selling quite a few of those and the Blurb chiefs gave him a cool price...
I wish him the best... a must have for contemporary Apple geeks... and a collector's item in 20 years from now, mark my words!

* if you want to compare mine with Lyons', click on the badge above left to link to a preview of my book and then link via this blog to Lyons' to compare. The latter is waaaay better than mine in terms of design... I wouldn't even dare stand by him in terms of content... I had a bit of fun doing it though. Worth trying for anyone who loves the art of putting books together.
