The Best of Creative Computing: Volume 3

by David Ahl (editor), Burchenal Green (Editor), Kevin Savetz (Preface)

Finally, a fantastic piece of computing history has been formatted for the Kindle.The Best of Creative Volume 3 contains more than 120 articlespublished in Creative Computing magazine in 1978. It contains an amazing collection of material of interest to technology historians, retrocomputing hobbyists, and programmers.These articles were written at a time when home computers were only becoming reality for the first time, when electronic calculators were still an expensive novelty, and when computers were only beginning to be used in business.Armchair Arcade reviewed the "The book was originally a 1980 release and collected more than 120 articles from the 1978 run of the legendary magazine. From the tone and content of the articles, you can definitely tell this was written for an unusually intelligent, sophisticated, and yes, geeky audience, which makes sense considering the type of individual who would be interested in computing in the late 1970s, and is a refreshing change from what tech magazines became from basically the late 1980s."

Essential for vintage computing enthusiasts

I highly recommend this book if you want to learn about the early personal computing history in the 70s. It is also very entertaining to read
