Acknowledgments

This edition incorporates hundreds of clarifications, corrections, and outright rewrites of some entries, based both on our own research and the comments of our readers, for which we are eternally grateful. We hope we have remembered all of those who helped us, but if some have fallen through the cracks, our apologies in advance.

We would like to thank the following people for their help and additional suggestions for the third edition: Matt Alt, David Banuelos, C. D. Carson, Gemma Cox, John Dunne, Frank Guo, Andrew Hewson, Tony Kehoe, Vlasta Konvicna, Freddy Litten, Jerome Mazandarani, Martin Minar, Neil Nadelman, Andrew Osmond, Fraser Overington, Andrew Partridge, Publius, Adam Rambousek, Clive Reames, James Reed, Bella Sabbagh, Julia Sertori, Megan Taylor, Reiko Tokoro, Mike Toole, Gorm Thomsen, Greg Wicker, Wang Xueer, and Patsy Zukav. Peter Goodman of Stone Bridge Press continues to hurl his money into this particular pit, seemingly just to see the pretty colors it makes as it burns. A very special thanks is due to Lawrence P. Hayes and John C. Watson, who voluntarily conducted thorough audits of the information in the previous edition, and whose detailed comments have measurably improved this third iteration. Special recognition should also go to our editor Beth Cary, back for a third sentence of misery with a mouse-click, who went far beyond the call of duty in chasing down the names of obscure pornographers, rescuing animators from the oblivion of misread kanji, arguing for the difference between Jeanie (who has light-brown hair) versus Jeannie (the genie), and similar issues of semantics and nomenclature. Our beta-readers in order of passes, John C. Watson (again), Andrew Osmond, and Marc Hairston, have steered us toward many other corrections and alterations, although we have not always followed their adviceany remaining errors are, of course, ours.

J. C., H. M.
