The editor would like to thank the contributors for their work and their invaluable help in tracking down other contributors. I’d also like to thank David Gernert for selling this book; Bruce Tracy for buying it; Peternelle van Arsdale for her editing; Siobhan Adcock for her forbearance and Matt Williams for his; and, for her endless legwork and indefatigable cheer in the face of rejection, Amy Williams.
