    Abstract: A video magazine for use with a video cassette recorder apparatus comprises the combination of a video cassette having a series of indexable video programs, and a printed program which includes a series of program guides corresponding to each program in the series of indexable video programs on the video cassette. By referring to the printed program, the user may readily index the video cassette in the video recording apparatus to the desired program. The video cassette and the printed program are shipped and stored in an integral package formed of a generally rectangular sleeve for accommodating the printed program, and a second sleeve bonded to the first sleeve and of a size adapted to accommodate the video cassette. The resulting point-of-purchase package provides the consumer with an indication of the variety of programming available in the video magazine, and is of a configuration to inhibit shoplifting.
