It takes a team of dedicated, hardworking professionals to turn any manuscript into a finished book, and the O'Reilly team is one of the best in the business. Extra thanks go out to Nan Barber, whose competence, surefootedness, and directness make her the kind of editor every author dreams of; Echo Swinford and Geetesh Bajaj, whose experience and dead-eye accuracy helped shape this book immeasurably; and Pete Meyers, who made sure the trains ran on time (while still managing to be a genuinely nice guy). E. A. Vander Veer The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don't come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index and RepKover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
