Acknowledgments

My acquisitions editor Michelle Newcomb and development editor Kate Shoup Welsh were both wonderful to work with ”engaged, cheerful, and fully cognizant of the challenges of writing and caring for a toddler at the same time. Thanks also to my project editor Tricia Liebig, my technical editor Bill Bruns, and my copy editor Ben Berg for their excellent advice and assistance. On the home front, my partner Doug Urner contributed photographs and sample documents, while keeping me going with his usual warmth, support, and chocolates doled out at steady intervals. Chris Smith graciously allowed me to use his gardening articles as examples in this book, and Deborah Craig once again permitted me to use her paper on Imogen Cunningham. Finally, Chung Yen Shih Chen spent many an hour playing with my son Gaelan and teaching him Chinese while I deepened my relationship with the keyboard in the upstairs office.
