CONTENTS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I, like most of you, hardly ever read the acknowledgment portion of a book. When I bought a book, I just wanted to get to the meat of the thing and see what I could drag out of iteither intellectually or entertainment-wiseand couldnt give a care about what the author thought about those who helped put it all together. Then, of all things, I wrote a book.
Now, I read the acknowledgments section of every book I purchase. Why? Because having gone through the trials and tribulations of writing, editing, arguing, planning, researching, rewriting, screaming at a monitor, and restarting the whole thing all over again, I understand why its so important. I know what it means when the writer says they couldnt have done it without fill-in-the-blank. Trust me, if its written there, then the author truly means they couldnt have done it without them
