@Don: If you select the right design option, which can look like an old double album LP, you get a wider spine, on which you can put a readable title. If you give me an address, I'll be glad to send you a sample CD -- I have far more than I ever expect to sell. You can PM me.

It is those little broken corners and bits of jewel cases that end up in the Pacific gyre (or shipped to other countries because we can't recycle them). And, of course, if musicians order CDs in plastic jewel cases then more of them will be manufactured: this is what I am trying to avoid by opting for Digipaks instead. I swim at a beach in the Berkeley Marina, pick up plastic bits regularly, and participate in the Coastal Clean Up each year. The only thing that outnumbers broken bits of hard plastic is smoking materials: cellophane, cigar tips, butts.

Cordially,

Sharyn
