As a collector of movie related magazines it makes me wonder for the future of tangible media, there will always be a market for something you can hold in your hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not a regular reader of Total Film, I have dabbled. My main experience of it has always been when I have been travelling, long bus journey, flight etc. I might grab a copy along with a packet of Polo&#8217;s from the shop at the station\/airport &#8211; could be a toss up between Total Film and Empire.  However I always enjoyed reading it. Losing the choice to grab it on the go is definitely an oversight of the &#8220;Money Men&#8221; in my opinion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1173\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600.webp 1173w, https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-220x300.webp 220w, https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-751x1024.webp 751w, https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-768x1048.webp 768w, https:\/\/flickscollector.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/s-l1600-1126x1536.webp 1126w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1173px) 100vw, 1173px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The last edition of the print edition is issue 355.
