This is a PDF version of the http://www.folklore.org website for off-line reading,
PDF is much more comfortable to read.
- 259 pages

very interesting stories about how the original Mac was made.

I hope I´m not infringing any copyright laws,
I just did the html to pdf conversion which took me quite some time copying and pasting.

An edited collection of these stories was published in print form as Revolution in the Valley: The Insanely Great Story of How the Mac Was Made. Despite the filename, this is not that book.

The application is from 1982 -- however the site wouldn't allow a date prior to 1984

Alternatively you can follow the Purchase link to find a (older style) binhex copy of it. You may need http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu:7131/soft/util/mac/binhex.macbin to properly unbinhex it.
