Ron Wayne's Apple II Advance Order Information Brochure Ron Wayne’s original “Apple-II Advance Order Information” brochure released by Apple Computer in early 1977, four pages, 8.5 x 11, signed on the front in black ink by the Apple cofounder, "Ronald G. Wayne,” who signs over his embossed personal seal. The brochure, which bears Apple's first official address at "770 Welch Road, Palo Alto, CA"—the location of an answering service and mail drop that the company used while still operating out of the famous Jobs family garage—contains ample technical information relative to the Apple II computer, including specifications for “Video Display,” “Memory,” “I/O,” and “Software,” which includes “APPLE BASIC...an integer BASIC supplied in 6k bytes of ROM.” Most significantly, the brochure contains a “Get on the List” offer section and form with purchase options for quantity and memory. A section marked “The Offer,” reads, in full: “We expect a sizable backlog of orders almost immediately after APPLE-II is nationally announced in April. This advance offer is extended to allow you to order an Apple-II from the first production run, thus be guaranteed delivery by April 30, 1977. The terms of the advance order are as follows: 1. All orders will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of quantity. 2. A deposit of one-third (1/3) of the total dollar amount ordered will be required and must accompany the order, the balance due on delivery. 3. All California residents must add 6 1/2% sales tax on retail orders. 4. Apple will pay all shipping (UPS) and order handling charges. 5. Delivery is guaranteed on or before April 30, 1977. In very fine condition. A rare surviving piece of Apple II ephemera that predates the unit’s release and subsequent ascent as America’s most influential personal computer. Provenance: Christie’s Auctions, The Ron Wayne Apple Archive, December 2014.

West Coast Computer Faire (1977) 'Conference Proceedings' Reference Book - The Debut of the Apple II Rare original “Conference Proceedings” reference book from the inaugural West Coast Computer Faire, which was held at the San Francisco Civic Auditorium, between April 15-17, 1977, 334 pages, 8.5 x 10.75, published by Computer Fair and edited by Jim C. Warren, Jr. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, 22 and 26 years of age, respectively, famously attended the exposition to debut their forthcoming Apple II personal computer, which was released only two months later. Apple Computer is listed among the numerous ‘Commercial Exhibitors,’ and includes their contact information: “20863 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino, CA 95014, (408) 996-1010.” The guidebook, entitled “The First West Coast Computer Fair: A Conference & Exposition on Personal & Home Computers,” contains detailed information on all of the conference’s many events and lectures: Friday & Saturday Banquet Speeches, Tutorials for the Computer Novice, People & Computers, Human Aspects of System Design, Computers for Physically Disabled, Legal Aspects of Personal Computing, Heretical Proposals, Computer Art Systems, Music & Computers, Electronic Mail, Computer Networking for Everyone, Personal Computers for Education, Residential Energy & Computers, Systems for Very Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Speech Recognition & Speech Synthesis by Computer, Tutorials on Software Systems Design, Implementation of Software Systems and Modules, High-Level Languages for Home Computers, Multi-Tasking on Home Computers, Homebrew Hardware, Bus & Interface Standards, Microprogrammable Microprocessors for Hobbyists, Amateur Radio & Computers, and Commercial Hardware.

A significant early reference book from the first great computer fair, a revolutionary meeting of minds that introduced important machines like the Commodore PET and the Apple II. It was at this exhibition that Jobs introduced the Apple II to Japanese textile maker Toshio Mizushima, who became the first authorized Apple dealer in Japan. The first WCCF is also where Wozniak handed out his ‘From Altair to Zaltair’ gag fliers, a parody of the Altair 8800 computer made by MITS.
