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 illustrations featured on the cover of Java in a Nutshell are American football referees (or "refs," as they are frequently called). The referee poses, from left to right, are: first down, offsides, touchdown, pass interference, and timeout. ... Edie Freedman designed this cover from illustrations drawn by Arthur Saarinen. The referees were created in Adobe Illustrator. Supporting artwork was done in QuarkXPress. The fonts used in the book are Garamond and Garamond book. Text was prepared using the troff text formatter and FrameMaker. Figures were creat ed by Chris Reilley in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 and Adobe Photoshop.
