The original 1993 CD and the 2007 CD have the same lyric book.

Many details follow.  You have been warned.


The lyric books have slightly different back pages [both inside and 
outside].  The 2007 CD does not say SteelDragon Press; it says '(P) 1993 
Steven K.Z. Brust' over www.dreamcafe.com.

The book has ten double-sided pages.  Eight double-sided black-and-white 
pages of lyrics and a 1963 picture.  (I think Steve is wearing one of 
his Sandman t-shirts.)  The cover is in color on the outside and 
black-and-white inside.

Book covers:  Inside front cover has the track listing.  Inside back 
cover has the acknowledgments and credits.  Outside front cover is the 
pretty picture.  Outside back cover is white text on black background, 
saving the album title and track numbers, which are in red.

The jewelcase backsides differ.  :>  The white-brick background is from 
1993.  The 2007 CD says 'www.dreamcafe.com' over a barcode.  The Beer & 
Pizza logo has different locations.


There's a shrink-wrapped 'Rose' cassette.  Peeking through the case, it 
_looks_ like it has a foldout lyric sheet.  I'll leave it be.
