Macworld magazine was launched in 1984 as a dedicated hub for all things Apple. The first issue was printed the same day as the release of the original Apple Macintosh, featuring Steve Jobs posing in front of three of the brand-new Macs. Just as the Macintosh made a lasting impact in personal computing by marketing toward the average consumer, Macworld became a key part of the Apple ecosystem for 30 years. #MACWORLD1 is a copy of Macworld #1 signed by both Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

“At its best, it may have been the finest magazine about one specific computing platform that anyone’s ever published–well written, beautifully designed, and surprisingly provocative.”
