Good idea, let's get books listed...

AUTHOR          Smith, Douglas K.
TITLE           Fumbling the future : how Xerox invented, then ignored, the
                 first personal computer / Douglas K. Smith and Robert C.
                 Alexander.
PUBLICATION     1st ed.  New York : W. Morrow, c1988.

I couldn't get an ISBN out of the catalog, possibly my fault, but the
book is current and should be at your local popular title bookstore.

I've read it, it's a fun story although I don't know what others
involved in Xerox during those years have said about the book's
accuracy. Definitely non-technical and geared towards business types.
