Magazines like Byte and Creative Computing were perceived as ephemeral by libraries, particularly academic libraries, and were discarded quickly. My mom threw most of mine out when I went to college.

In the mid 1990s I tried to get 1979 issues of Creative Computing and couldn't find any academic libraries that could offer them for interlibrary loan.

I'd take 'em.

i wonder whats stopping anyone from doing a re-print of these magazines... not enough demand?

[retrac]

Still under copyright.

i see... i wonder who holds it still, it would be nice if they offered re-prints
