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 animals on the cover of Transact-SQL Programming are wallcreepers (Tichodrama muraria), colorful nuthatches with two subspecies, whose habitat is the alpine regions from Eurasia to North Africa. The wallcreeper is a rock dweller, and seeks food by climbing in its native rocks and ravines-hence the name. Its hind toes have long claws with which the bird can grasp small protrusions. While climbing, wallcreepers flap their wings, showing brief glimpses of a red band of feathers; this coloring is intensified in males during mating season. An adult wallcreeper is about seven inches long. Its nests are built of feathers, moss, and other materials found in the rock cliffs. Jeffrey Liggett was the production editor for Transact-SQL Programming; Sheryl Avruch was the production manager; Norma Emory was the copyeditor; Ellie Maden, Sarah Jane Shangraw, and Melanie Wang provided quality control. Robert Romano created the illustrations using Adobe Photoshop 5 and Macromedia FreeHand 8. Mike Sierra provided FrameMaker technical support. Ruth Rautenberg wrote the index.

Edie Freedman designed the cover of this book, using a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced with QuarkXPress 3.32 using the ITC Garamond font. Hanna Dyer designed the CD label. Whenever possible, our books use RepKover(TM), a durable and flexible lay-flat binding. If the page count exceeds RepKover's limit, perfect binding is used.

The inside layout was designed by Nancy Priest and implemented in FrameMaker 5.5 by Mike Sierra. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. This colophon was written by Nancy Kotary.
