I too had a lot of fun reading record labels. Gail Linda and list, Reading record labels and LP covers is really lots of fun, although if you try to read the ones that open up like books, it's challenging because you've got two 12-inch surfaces to read across with about four columns per LP cover; talk about challenging! CD inserts can be a challenge too; some CD's that are packed in booklet-style containers are great if the print in the booklet is good enough. CD's are great but I get nervous about scratching the surface of the disk with the optacon lens, but it works sometimes if the colors have enough contrast. Somehow, though, it's just not as much fun as reading all those lP's. What a treat to find out what those songs were really called, and who wrote them!
