Sellam said in his VCF site review of this book:
"You first realize this is not just another book about Apple when it begins
with an Apple factoid that even I (a lifelong Apple fanatic) didn't even
know about. It reveals that Apple actually had one other founder besides the
two Steves, a man by the name of Ronald Wayne who got cold feet and bailed
out shortly after Apple's official founding (he's the guy who designed the
logo of Newton sitting under the Apple tree on the Apple-1 manual)."
Poor Ron Wayne, who sold out his 10% of the company for $500, is missing
from all the Apple company stories that I have read, but his involvement is
described well in Fire in the Valley by Freiberger and Swaine on pages
265-267 of the updated version that came out this year.
