Recently, Virgin UK released a CD full of XTC rarities, and it had a
totally inadequate booklet.  John Relph (moderator of Chalkhills, the
XTC mailing list) put together a beautiful little booklet using a
laserprinter, featuring recording details and lyrics for each song
(some songs have never had official lyrics printed, so we've had to
guess at those).

Would someone with time and knowledge of postscript be willing to put
together similar booklets for TWW I and II?  We've probably got all
the lyrics to the B-sides songs here on gaffa, if anyone's having
trouble finding them (I honestly don't know if they are really all
there, but I suspect the answer is yes.)

The beautiful part is that anyone with a postscript laserprinter could
ftp the sources and make their own booklets, so nobody would be
overburdened.  Surely even the laziest love hound could spend ten
minutes with scissors and stapler...
