review text: Several proofs of the Blackwell renewal theorem are known, using different mathematical tools. This paper presents a version of the coupling method. The main point is that the positive random variables are allowed to have infinite mean and a non-lattice distribution. The given arguments are basically elementary and the proof is self-contained.
