I usually get it at Fry's, in the electronic-tools section.

Online... Amazon or eBay would probably work.

I'd also like to find something that won't leave lint like a qtip has.

There are foam-tipped swabs (look a bit like Q tips on steroids)
designed for just that purpose.

I had no idea CD books are done with a less expensive method similar to
home burned.

These days, burning is used for a lot of smaller CD production runs.
I haven't priced things lately but I suspect it's more economical for
any single-run batches of less than a thousand copies.


No Fry's near me. But Microcenter is like Fry's, and has it, turns out.

Foam-tipped swabs - will have to keep an eye out now that I know they exist.

I'm sure burning is cheaper for smaller runs. Can even be done at home by a starting artist musician (which is several of my albums.)
