Attention Vintage Tech Collectors & Apple History Enthusiasts!Up for sale is a highly collectible, first-edition copy of "Learning Logo on the Apple II", published in 1982 by Prentice-Hall of Australia.Written by Australian computing pioneers Anne McDougall, Tony Adams, and Pauline Adams, this book is a fantastic artifact from the golden age of 8-bit personal computing. It was designed to teach children and beginners procedural logic and "Turtle Graphics" on the legendary Apple II family of systems.Why this belongs in your collection:
  • Regional Rarity: Published by Prentice-Hall of Australia, this specific edition is significantly harder to find than standard US vintage computing texts.

  • Historic Software Coverage: Features specific workflows for early 1980s software variations, including the MIT Logo (Terrapin/Krell) and Apple Logo (LCSI) releases.
  • Historical Easter Egg: Includes a fascinating dedication thanking the creators of Zardax, the iconic Australian word processor used to write the manuscript!
Condition Report:
  • Cover: Good vintage condition with some expected minor shelf wear and age-toning typical for a 40+ year-old paperback. Glossy finish is still bright.
  • Pages: Clean text, tightly bound. Small, minor cosmetic peeling on the bottom left corner of the internal spine/title page layout (as seen in pictures), which does not affect the readability or overall structural integrity.
  • Overall: An excellent, crisp display piece for an Apple II hardware setup or a retro-tech library shelf.
