Colophon

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. The image on the cover of Nokia Smartphone Hacks is tin cans and string. A tin can telephone is probably one of the great joys of youth. It is fairly easy to construct one. It works through the basic physics of sound. When the speaker holds his end of the phone-his can-in front of his mouth and speaks into the can's open end, the sound waves travel into the can, causing the can to vibrate, which in turn causes the connecting string to vibrate. And so the sound waves travel along the string to the other can. The second can vibrates, and the sound comes out of the can. Simple, yet perfect! Mary Brady was the production editor for Nokia Smartphone Hacks. Audrey Doyle was the copyeditor. Mary Brady proofread the book. Philip Dangler and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Judy Hoer wrote the index. Hanna Dyer designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is an original photograph by Getty Images. Karen Montgomery produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign CS using Adobe's Helvetica Neue and ITC Garamond fonts. David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Keith Fahlgren to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Helvetica Neue Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano, Jessamyn Read, and Lesley Borash using Macromedia FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS. This colophon was written by Mary Brady.
