That's a shame! It's a mistake almost everyone that has used a film camera has made, though.
On these older SLRs, one thing you can do to check that the film is loaded properly is to watch the rewind crank as you advance to the next frame. If everything is loaded and the film is engaged properly, you should see it turn.
It is nothing new to me, but I think it is very-very good introduction to film SLR cameras in particular and photography basics (aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, etc) in general for person who never study this topic before.
I wish author good shots with this «basic» but perfectly capable camera!

Very nice text with very nice voice.
