I would love to be a fly on the wall to fully understand the review process at Apple. I know their quality control is legendary, but wouldn't it be fascinating to see what actually happens from the day you submit your book to the day it's finally approved? Whatever the case, I'm thrilled our book is finally where it's meant to be--available on the device Steve Jobs was so proud of creating. Ha ha!

Oh, wait! No, they knew, but they wanted to keep the mythological Jobs going. It took them this long to realize that outing him as human wasn't going to hurt their bottom line. Whew!

Not mention Apple's quality control is legendary. Thanks for taking the time to leave your two cents, and good luck in the drawing. I know how much you love books and music. You are probably right.

You are a funny one! Love this. And I especially love that Oprah and the Queen have copies. Never mind I'm still waiting to hear from them. :-) Good luck in the drawing! Hell yes!

Then they had a board meeting to discuss the pros and cons on getting back to you. But, truthfully, I'm thinking it wasn't so much about your book, as it was about the fact that Apple probably gets millions of requests each month that they have to pour through. Think of all the new apps that keep popping up, and self publishing is a huge business these days, so they could very well be getting lots of requests for reviews. And that's my two cents. ;) Well, first of all, the larger the company, the more bureaucracy it has, so it probably had to go through a lot of red tape, and sit on a lot of different desks for days on end, as it made it’s way all the way to the deciders.

Next they tried cloning, I mean "clouding" your book (complete and utter failure). They then tried ignoring you, hoping you would give up and go away, and not-so-quickly realized that you wouldn't. Later (much), they had a big meeting in which they only allowed people to eat apples as snacks (getting back to their roots), while they brainstormed ways to get you to give up and go away. The apples were organic, so finally they all (and I do mean ALL) leaped up and said, "Hell yes! What are we waiting for? (and proceeded to send an advance copy to Oprah and Queen Elizabeth).
