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 image on the cover of Computer Crime: A Crimefighter's Handbook is of a turn-of-the-century police officer, most likely from an American city. Hallmarks of American police uniforms of the time include the long coat, the truncheon (also called a nightstick or billy club) that he is carrying, and the copper helmet. It is from this helmet that the slang terms for U.S. police officers "copper," and its later abbreviated form, "cop," derives. UNIX and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks help you tame them.

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 3.3 using the ITC Garamond font. The inside layout was designed by Jennifer Niederst, with modifications by Nancy Priest, and implemented in FrameMaker 4.0 by Mike Sierra. The text and heading fonts are ITC Garamond Light and Garamond Book. The illustrations that appear in the book were created in Macromedia Freehand 5.0 by Chris Reilley. This colophon was written by Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary.
