FOR SALE!

I am culling and I have

Fifty three issues of the CoEvolution Quarterly (later known as Whole Earth Review) for sale.

These are all excellent issues, still lucid if a bit dated.

As Art Kleiner describes

The magazine CoEvolution Quarterly was founded by Stewart Brand in 1974, with proceeds from The Whole Earth Catalog. It was founded, he later wrote, "to see what would happen if an editor were totally unleashed. I would print anything that kept me turning its pages." Great magazines are known for their communities; though it rarely had more than 30,000 readers, the "CoEv" had as vibrant a community of writers, readers and contributors as any magazine I can think of.

Please drop me a note if you are interested. I would hate to throw them away almost as much as I would hate to keep them around. That was then, this is now.

I dropped an email, but I fear one or both of our spam filters may be acting as inhibitors. Are the issues still available for purchase?

I am trying to find a Whole Earth Review or CoEvolution Quarterly article published shortly after the violence-marked Rolling Stones concert at the Altamont Speedway in November of 1969. My interest is in an article about the Grateful Dead song "New Speedway Boogie," perhaps the first analysis in print of that songs as the Dead's reaction to Altamont. If you have the issue I am talking about, could you let me know.

I have been unable to find table of contents listings for these magazines, let alone the full text on line. It would be great if someone would scan and digitize the whole collection.

I am searching for Issue #45 of the Whole Earth Review - published in the Fall of 1998. Please contact me if you have a copy.
