Front and Back Cover of the Upcoming Steve Jobs Biography [Photo]

Check out this photo which shows the front, back, and spine of the upcoming Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson.

"The cover," Isaacson tells FORTUNE, "is the Albert Watson portrait taken for Fortune in 2009. The back is a Norman Seeff portrait of him in the lotus position holding the original Macintosh, which ran in Rolling Stone in January 1984. The title font is Helvetica. It will look as you see it, with no words on the back cover."

Apparently, some have surmised that the new earlier release date is due to Steve Jobs health; however, Isaacson tells FORTUNE that this is not the case.


"It's actually not related to any decline," writes Isaacson. "I turned most of the book in this past June. It's now all done and edited. The March 2012 date (or whatever date it was) was never a deeply-considered pubdate. Like the original cover design, it came about because the publisher wanted to put something in the database last spring."
