APA-VCR is an apazine where members could publish their lists of video tape collections for exchange with other fans. Members also reported which television shows were going to appear in their area and volunteered to tape them for fans who lived somewhere else.
From an ad in Comlink #36: "An apa for the entertainment and communication of amateur video hobbyist. You don't have to have a VCR to join."
From Of Love and Hope Vol 1 (a Beauty and the Beast mailing list) a subscriber writes in 1994::
I was involved for over 10 years in APA-VCR which was devoted to television, movies and video taping issues. It came out in paper form six times per year. One of the formats used in the APA was "Mailing Comments" on previous issues..."
