Classic Computing: The Complete Historically Brewed

Classic Computing is like getting the history of computer history nostalgia, all in one book!

All ten issues of the groundbreaking computer history zine (newsletter / magazine) Historically Brewed & Classic Computing in one professionally bound volume. It also includes the personal background story of David Greelish, Publisher and Editor (writer for many of the stories too). The entire run of issues are accurately reproduced in their original format.

Also, now IN the book, is the never before released first (and last) issue of Classic Computing with original content (stories acquired and covers designed in 1997). This was essentially Historically Brewed issue ten.

Historically Brewed was published from 1993 to 1997 and it grew into a small, but very respectful 500+ subscriber base. It was eventually sold at the American Computer Museum in Bozeman, MT, Computer Museum in Boston, MA (now the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA) and the Smithsonian Institution. Originally nine issues were published, with a tenth never completed (having changed the name to Classic Computing).

Like history itself, the stories of the zines don't age, and the other content from readers and contributors of the time have become interesting time capsules themselves.

David has studied computer history and collected old computers for over 20 years. He was the Founder and President of the original Historical Computer Society and publisher of Historically Brewed, a computer history zine. More recently, he was the Founder of the Atlanta Historical Computing Society and Director of the first ever Vintage Computer Festival Southeast. He has written articles, conducted interviews and produced podcasts on computer history nostalgia.
