I didnt realize you had audiobooks back in the era of casette tape
Audiobooks were first called “books on tape.”
They came in big noisy plastic cases shaped like large books that held several tapes for long audiobooks. They were made of cheap, thin, disposable-feeling plastic rather than something you’d want for permanent storage. It’s hard to explain what I’m talking about but they were a rather unique experience. They were similar to the plastic clamshell cases used by VHS movies but much larger.
I remember them, and you described them perfectly.
I forgot those things existed. What a flashback.
Hmm I see. I think I got a set of felt-tip pens in a book-shaped plastic case like that once.
You could even rent them out from the public library.
Public libraries still do this! I think it’s CDs now though.
