Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. This book was written in Word X on various Macs around the country and edited using the tracking feature described in Chapter 5. The screenshots were captured with Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com). Adobe Photoshop 7 Macromedia Freehand (www.adobe.com) were called in as required for touching them up.

The book was designed and laid out in Adobe PageMaker 6.5 on a PowerBook G3 and Power Mac G4. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple logo and figs command symbols, a custom font was created using Macromedia Fontographer.

The book was generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proofreading and indexing, and final transmission to the printing plant in the form of PostScript files.
