Praise for the first edition of Cult of Mac: Kahney embarked on his journey to chronicle the weird world of Mac addicts last year, and I think he nailed it. If you have iPod-clutching, Macintosh-using, Woz-loving, Newton-worshiping cultists in your circle of friends, get 'em this book. But even if you you're not a HyperCard-carrying member of the club, the book is worth a look. Kahney has uncovered some real characters on the scene. --San Francisco Chronicle Mr. Kahney's informal history of the Mac is interspersed with trivia and delightful details, and intriguing photos, and is wrapped up in an entertaining style. This is a coffee table book that only a geek might love -- but it's also one lots of people will enjoy reading. --Washington Times This account of Macintosh fanaticism will strike a chord with anyone who's ardently defended (or cursed) an operating system... sure to end up on Quadra-based coffee tables everywhere. --Wired Magazine Winner: Outstanding Book of the Year -- Most Unique Design. Octopod Studios (No Starch Press) --Independent Publisher Book Awards 2005
