MANY WONDERFUL PEOPLE were part of the making of this opus.
I’d like to thank:
Inez Bailey, my extended family. Without her help and loving service for almost two decades, this book could never have happened. Her tender loving care for Carl is something I will never forget.
Juliet Brown, for her great care, patience, and love. Without her I couldn’t have managed to do this complex project.
Elizabeth Viscott Sullivan, Executive Editor at Harper Design, for her creative vision, dedication, and passion; Lynne Yeamans, Paul Kepple, Max Vandenberg, Susan Kosko, and Dani Segelbaum for the crackerjack book design and production; Rebecca Karamehmedovic, for her ace image research; Matthew Wade Evans, for his assistance with the manuscript; Carmen Bruni, for her great kindness and for giving her time so freely; Barbara L. Dixon, for her help with fine-tuning the final text; Weegie Antle, for her kindness and support; Emerson Bruns, for his sage advice, unwavering gentility, and legal prowess; and John and Kim Wadsworth, for their generous assistance.
The illustrators Carlos Aponte, Bil Donovan, David Downton, Donald Robertson, Ruben Toledo, and Michael Vollbracht, for creating the artwork especially for the book—I am most honored.
The many talented artists and photographers who contributed their work: Alique, Eric Boman, Roger Davies, Daniela Federici, Eric Giriat, John Mark Hall, John Huba, Steven Klein, Robert Knoke, Dmitry Kostyukov, Harley Landberg, Keith Major, Luis Monteiro, Norman Nelson, Willy Soma, Nick Stocks, Emma Summerton, and Bruce Weber.
And finally, the many terrific companies I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with over the years, with an additional bow to M·A·C, Macy’s, Modern Kids, One Kings Lane, Neiman Marcus, and Tag Heuer for being so generous with their imagery.
