Were you watching my childhood? It was just as you describe.
And I'm still searching for those out-of-print treasures, some so rare and forgotten that they aren't even available on line. (Though on-line bookstores make obtaining physical copies a bit easier, theoretically...)
I barely remember this kind of thing. It was a special treat to go to a "real" city, and I usually tried to come back with something I hadn't seen or read before.
Back when I copied VHS to VHS, I'd make sure the tracking on the playback deck was perfect before making the copy- of course I still do now when transferring to DVD, which then can make infinite perfect copies.

Soooo true!!!
You just reminded me to go look up The Crippled Masters on YouTube, the tracking on my VHS copy in the 80's was pretty rough...

Great! Says it all for those of us who remember what it was like pre-internet, pre-digital-everything.

awesome film! I laughed out loud at the "glass houses"/"whipped cream & other delights" line - an accuracy that sadly remains today.
