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 BSD Hacks is a pitchfork. A pitchfork (also known as a garden or spading fork) is a versatile agricultural hand tool. It can be used for a range of tasks, including aerating soil, pitching hay, and mixing compost. In addition to its practical uses, the pitchfork is also symbolic; for example, it is often included in depictions of the Devil, and it is a central feature of Grant Wood's American Gothic. A pitchfork can have two, three, or four curved prongs, but most pitchforks manufactured today (such as the one depicted in the cover image) have four. Genevieve d'Entremont was the production editor and copyeditor for BSD Hacks. Reg Aubry proofread the book. Matt Hutchinson and Claire Cloutier provided quality control. Judy Hoer wrote the index.

Hanna Dyer designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman. The cover image is a photograph from the Stockbyte Work Tools CD. Emma Colby produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's Helvetica Neue and ITC Garamond fonts.

David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Joe Wizda to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies. The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Helvetica Neue Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano and Jessamyn Read using Macromedia FreeHand 9 and Adobe Photoshop 6. This colophon was written by Genevieve d'Entremont.
