Evidence details

My Life at Apple - by John Couch (Hardcover)

Wozniak provided an attributed review quote for John Couch's Apple memoir. This is kept as a documented mention, not a direct recommendation, because the inspectable source is a retailer review-quote listing and not Wozniak's own reading list.

The quote is taken word for word from the source. It is a mention, not counted as a direct recommendation.

Retailer listing · Retailer review quote

Target's product page prints an attributed Steve Wozniak review quote for My Life at Apple; a durable text capture is checked in at docs/source-receipts/source-captures/target-my-life-at-apple-2026-06-22.md. The original X-post lead was discovered but direct X rendering was blocked during this pass, so this row uses the inspectable retailer quote and remains a weak mention.
