I would especially like to thank Johan Vromans (Squirrel Design), who initially suggested the idea for the book and also provided technical review comments, Hans-Dieter Rauschner (Logotechnics), my production manager Jonathan Simpson, and my editor Liz Israel Oppedijk.

Most of all I would like to thank Catherine Mason, without whose help and support this book would not exist. Her criticisms and suggestions have been invaluable. Any mistakes in the book are, of course, my own.
