I’d always been fairly aware of the Peelings II magazine back during the early 1980s when the Apple II was going strong, because they advertised fairly aggressively in things that I did read, but for some reason I’d never really read any of the issues. Probably this is because the magazine wasn’t sold on any newsstands I had easy access to, and I was never motivated to subscribe. Looking at it now, though, it’s pretty interesting. It’s essentially a magazine of reviews, and as such, it provides quite a bit of useful information for the modern-day retrocomputing enthusiast.
I looked around a bit, but I couldn’t find any issues scanned online. I have exactly seven issues of the magazine, the first 7 issues of 1983. The issues don’t have dates on them (apart from “1983”), but it appears that Peelings II came out 9 times per year.
So, I scanned the ones I have. And they are linked below. They’re scanned at 600dpi, so the files are fairly large.
- Peelings II v4n1 1983
- Peelings II v4n2 1983
- Peelings II v4n3 1983
- Peelings II v4n4 1983
- Peelings II v4n5 1983
- Peelings II v4n6 1983
- Peelings II v4n7 1983
I have Vol. 5 No. 1. I could send it to you if you’d like.
