Have you guys seen these little books at your local book and/or record store? Haven;t read any yet but saw a few. They're like, pocket sized books all about one album, sort of like ultimate liner notes.
I thought it was a great idea, almost as cool as that album-cover bubblegum I used to get (remember that? Reproduction of an album coveer containing round flattened bubblegum "album").
The one thing I miss about LPs is that they were so much more... substantial ... than CDs, and the one thing I miss about CDs now that I'd prefer to download is that they sort of killed liner notes (and it certyainly wounded the album itself, though I;m not certain that's really a bad thing).
