Old issues of "C++ Report"?

Question

I used to receive "C++ Report" magazine (along with "C/C++ User's Journal"), both now defunct.

For the longest time, I would cart around the issues, from move to move. Regrettably, a few years ago I decided to stop carting them around & I recycled them.

There was a lot of wisdom in those pages, and now I find myself wishing I could bring them into the workplace so that others can peruse them. A lot of what I know & use came from those pages.

Does anyone know if back issues, or a DVD/CD-rom compilation of "C++ Report" exists?

I know for example that Dr. Dobbs has a DVD with 14 years of back issues of "C/C++ User's Journal". I'd love to find something similar (or the dead tree equivalent) for "C++ Report".

(At the risk of sounding like a jerk, I'm not looking for a few articles by 1 or 2 authors from googling, I'm looking for the "whole shebang").

Answer 1

The only thing I can think of is the book "C++ Gems", which is basically 42 articles from the first 7 years, published in 1996. I got a copy from a used bookstore a few years ago.

It would be nice to have a dvd - I have the Dr. Dobbs and C/C++ UJ ones. The indexing seems a little flakey, but everything is there if you look hard enough.

Answer 2

I would suggest contacting the publisher.
