Re: Good Morning!

Yes I used to love Enid Blyton books @TAB!

 

I think the book catalogue place was called "The Scholastic Book Club" @hanami 

 

In the 1980's-1990's if you wanted an alternate news content you would have to get something called a "Zine" which was independent press that was roneoed with methylated spirits on a machine or done on a library photo copier.

Re: Good Morning!

@SmilingGecko remember the smell of that methylated spirits! Some kids used to love it lol.

Funny enough, my 18 year old daughter is into zines and she tells me they have made a comeback. 

Re: Good Morning!

❤️ I agree! She is a bit of a hoarder but sometimes I appreciate the old stuff she keeps ❤️

 

Re: Good Morning!

Re: Good Morning!

Never knew that about Zines being current @hanami  I used to get a subscription to some when I was growing up. You know those lollies called PEZ in the dispenser with a cartoon head on top like Mickey Mouse? They used to have a Zine for PEZ fans - all things PEZ!!! My friend used to get a Zine out of Sydney from some hairy legged radical feminists, possibly lesbians called "Skirt"

 

Here are what PEZ looked like if you don't know <image> :
