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 animal on the cover of DHCP for Windows 2000 is a frilled coquette hummingbird (Lophornis magnificus). Most of the over 300 species of hummingbirds make their home in South America. Their very rapid wingbeat produces the humming sound that gives these tiny birds (the smallest is only about five and a half centimeters long!) their name. Leanne Soylemez was the production editor and copyeditor for DHCP for Windows 2000. Nicole Arigo, Mary Sheehan, and Susan Carlson Greene provided quality control. Nancy Crumpton wrote and Brenda Miller edited the index.

Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from the Dover Pictorial Archive. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.

Alicia Cech and David Futato designed the interior layout based on a series design by Nancy Priest. Mike Sierra implemented the design in FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book; the code font is Constant Willison. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano using Macromedia FreeHand 8 and Adobe Photoshop 5. This colophon was written by Leanne Soylemez.
