The much heralded Steve Jobs Biography by Walter Isaacson is a fantastic look at the world of Steve Jobs. What many people don't know is just how close Steve Jobs was to Wisconsin in general - ties through both his biological and adopted parents - and Green Bay in specific. It makes for a fantastic read for this alone. If you have a passing interest in the development of the personal computer revolution of the 70's and 80's, this is a must-read. Those interested in great stories of redemption and a complex man will be surprised at what they learn about Jobs. Finally, while we've all mostly lived through the resurrection of Apple beginning in the mid 90's, there are details that will astound you. There are many other biographies of Steve Jobs out there - each bringing some unique facet, but this is the authorized biography. As such, the sheer volume of information makes it tough to beat.
Isaacson is a master of the biography - in the past writing about public figures like Albert Einstein. He was hand-picked by Steve to craft this work. A control freak to the end, it's tough to name someone else who chooses their own biography author.

Of course, we intuitively all know email is less expensive than postage. Here is a deeper dive into actual costs in the real world. It's painful to see what a printed campaign would cost you. If you're a small business, the cost difference could be the difference between taking a tropical vacation this year!
