I had a similar thought about Quantum Books in Cambridge, MA.

Charles had some really nice looking artwork for 1.4.1 CD's.  that
includes both the covers and the CD's themselves.  I never saw the actual
CD's, but the picture of the graphics was really very nice.

BTW, I totaly agree that it would be really great to get some select
stores to carry CD's.  In particular SoftPRO, Quantum (greater Boston
area) and perhaps a few in the SF Bay area.
