The First West Coast Computer Faire - Conference Proceedings: April 15-17, 1977 

Rare publication of the conference proceedings from the first West Coast Computer Faire, held in San Francisco in April, 1977, containing transcripts of conference presentations, technical articles, a list of exhibitors, and advertising for components and publications for computer hobbyists.  

The First West Coast Computer Faire was one of the first large-scale technology expositions, and it brought together computer enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals to showcase the latest computer hardware and software. Considered the Woodstock of the personal computing movement, the fair was a seminal event in the development of the personal computer industry and helped to establish the San Francisco Bay Area as a hub for technology innovation. It also provided a platform for computer pioneers to showcase their products and engage with the growing community of computer users. Apple Computer, who had 8 employees at the time, purchased two booth spaces at the faire and chose this time to officially introduce the Apple II. "Right there at the entrance, the wave of the future, was Apple, running a kaleidoscopic video graphics program on a huge Advent display monitor. 'It was crazy,' Randy Wigginton, who was working in the booth with Woz and Chris Espinosa and the others, later recalled. 'Everybody was coming by and asking for demonstrations, and it was fun because people were excited about it'" (Levy, 266). 

San Francisco & San Jose: Computer Faire, 1977. Original yellow wraps, titles printed in black, pp. [xvi], 334, [2]. Edited by Jim C. Warren, Jr. In very good condition, light shelfwear and toning to wraps with a hint of waviness. Internally clean. A very important artifact of computer history.
