While looking at the booklet, it occurred to me that it could have
been printed more cheaply by removing the lyrics, and just printing
the outer pages (cover picture; track listing; acknowledgments; track
listing again (only white on black)), and even more cheaply by just
printing a single jewel-case-size sheet with the cover picture and
track listing.

I think I got my copy of /Rose/ when I bought the /Another Way to
Travel/ CD, and possibly at the same time as when I bought the Flash
Girls CDs, which would have been in the early or mid-1990s.

Now I am curious as to the publishing history of /Rose/.  Does anyone
else remember when they bought their CD, and how many pages were
included in the jewel case?
