New Apple book hits #2 on German bestseller list following attempted ban

Ben Lovejoy, 9to5Mac:

The Streisand Effect has predictably kicked in after Apple attempted to prevent the distribution of a new Apple book written by former German App Store manager Tom Sadowski. App Store Confidential is now number two on Amazon’s bestseller list in Germany, and the book is into its second print run.

You can read a summary of some of the book’s main points in this blog post. From what I’ve seen, nothing alarming, nothing that leaps out as exposing real secrets.

As Ben Lovejoy points out above, Apple’s ban has likely given the book a real shot up the bestseller list. Question is, will legal costs make that success more costly than the success was worth.
