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. This book was written and edited in Microsoft Word on various Macs and one lonely PC. The desktop-software screenshots were captured with Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com) for the Mac, and TechSmith's SnagIt for Windows (www.techsmith.com). Adobe Photoshop 7 and Macromedia Freehand MX were called in as required for touching them up.
The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign 3.0. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple and command symbols, custom fonts were created using Macromedia Fontographer.
The book as then generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proofreading, indexing, and final transmission to the printing plant.
