"A big tip o' the hat to Phil for putting the magazine together, but honestly I stopped purchasing issues given its need for even rudimentary editing (the lack of which made it a difficult and frustrating read). While I appreciate the fact that the issues are comprised of contributed articles, I believe the content should at least rise above grade school spelling and grammar errors given the subscriber base is (paying) adults."
"...given its need.." that should be apostrophe, as in "it's", as the "need" belongs to the "it".
"...(the lack of...), etc. Not best to end a sentence in brackets when a semicolon would be better.
"...and grammar errors...", perhaps "grammatical errors"?
"...the subscriber base is (paying) adults...", should be "are paying adults", or "is adult based".
Seriously, John, I'm just kidding with you, but the point I'm making is that perhaps it is tougher than one may imagine to produce such a publication.

Dear David,
Well I hired a 4 reel version from Perry's Movies many moons ago (1978-79), it came on 2 x 400' reels, it was in Walton boxes, and had artwork, perhaps it was no more than the 4 Columbia 200' extracts put together, or it was either a very short rights deal, or it came out surreptitiously, either way I clearly remember it, as the sound on the print was awful, and not clearly up to Walton's usual standards, and that's what stuck in my mind, even after all these years!

Dear David,
You're asking me to trawl my memory back well over 30 years now, but I must say my recollections of the film I hired are still pretty vivid, as it was among the first ever films I projected, and the box artwork, although similar, was different, I don't know what else to say, I've always remembered it as a 'Walton' release.
The prints that have a little weave are normally those that have been slit poorly, and mostly oversized, I use a little tool called an 'Equilizer' you put it in between 2 rewind arms, feed the film through the little unit, and it cuts it to size, trimming any excess off, it's amazing the results you can get from it.
