Dr. Steven Weyhrich of apple2history.org has announced, “Sophistication & Simplicity: The Life & Times of the Apple II Computer“, a book based on his extensive and meticulous research into the history of the Apple II.
…for the past year, I have been working on revisions and updates to the history, and a re-ordering of the information to be able to offer it as a book. The result is the best version of the History than I’ve ever had, and with the rising interest in retrocomputing in general, the time is opportune to produce a print book.
I am pleased to announce that I have a publisher. Variant Press (their web site is not currently working, or I’d include a link), of Winnipeg, Manitoba, has agreed to print the Apple II History as a book. Entitled Sophistication & Simplicity: The Life & Times of the Apple II Computer, the book is scheduled to be available in April 2013, running over 500 pages. It will have the text of the Apple II History as found on this web site, including some revisions not posted here, many of the pictures that appear here in the various chapters (as well as a few not found on the web site), and include a never-before-released chapter dealing specifically with KansasFest and the Apple II story in the years after Apple abandoned the platform.
