People stopped reading manuals, not that they read them much before, but if you did, you had a fighting chance of understanding that auto exposure was not a panacea.
I "sealed the deal" an AE-1 during an OR case in ~80-81 to go with my trusty F1. IIRC the AE-1 had a "real" manual and a second comic book type "let's get started" instruction sheet. I liked that idea from the standpoint if one had gotten that camera for a gift there was quick and dirty instructions to get you started. I kinda wondered if the that thick lil book that 'spalined it all was opened. You answered my question.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I'd never seen a rig like that to keep from losing a lens cap.
