Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs will be available in paperback with a new front cover starting Sept. 10.
The paperback edition of Steve Jobs is currently available for preorder at Amazon. Simon & Schuster has announced that the title will become available on Sept. 10 with a new afterword.
The book will also sport a new cover, according to All Things D, featuring a younger Jobs in the same thumb-on-chin pose he had on the original hardcover title.
The paperback edition of "Steve Jobs" has been a long time coming, as the title was originally released in late 2011, soon after the Apple co-founder passed. It went on to become Amazon's best-selling book of the year.
The publisher has not revealed sales figures for the title, but it did reach sales of 380,000 copies in its first week of availability in the U.S.

Wow this guy finds a way to add an "S" edition of everything, even after he dies. I'm interested to see what the new foreword is. I hope it's not like his "I cracked (the Apple TV)" line that doesn't seem to be coming anytime soon.
While I think Jobs did some amazing things, I couldn't help but think that he had some strange hang-ups in his personality.

Yep, great men, have great faults! :)
The "Steve Jobs" book was rushed to print and needed substantial improvement. It certainly was not up to Isaacson's normal polished standards. Too bad. Perhaps the paperback version will be the polished version?

You know, that's the impression I had when I first read it. :)
Perhaps, due to my own high expectations, but I found it a somewhat disappointing read.
