THANKS TO Edward Necarsulmer IV for knowing that a book of gory facts would be worth writing, and for his wisdom in finding Emily Easton, the perfect editor for it.
This book would have died a quick death without the wise advice of Jennie Bragg, Leah Komaiko, Victoria Beck, Christine Bernardi, Tracy Holczer, Leslie Margolis, Elizabeth Passarelli, Anne Reinhard, Angela Wiencek, and Cathleen Young.
