I would like to dedicate this book to RJJ, R.I.P., for driving the first marriage vehicle (MG).
This book would not exist without Commissioning Editor Hilary Lumsden. Her faith in it has never wavered as the two authors stuffed themselves and quaffed, missed deadlines, and generally argued the toss. Yasia Williams, Executive Art Editor, must be thanked for her devotion and good cheer. Juanne Branquinho, Managing Editor, likewise. Vanessa Kendell endured hours of frantic copy-editing, battling a rough sea of foreign labelling, and never got tetchy once. Grade Design Consultants, who designed the book, has done an exemplary job. With regard to the natty cover, we would also like to acknowledge Tim Foster’s decisive input. And lastly, there is Jason Lowe whose Contax camera has clicked so elegantly.
