• His editor, Xavier Cazin, for his professionalism, his enthusiasm, and his friendship.

• Jacques André, for supplying tons of books, articles, leads, addresses, ideas, advice, suggestions, memories, crazy thoughts, etc.

• All those who supported him by providing information or resources: Ben Bauermeister, Gábor Bella, Tom Bishop, Thierry Bouche, John Collins, Richard Cook, Simon Daniels, Mark Davis, Lisa Devlin, Bon Hallissy, Ken'ichi Handa, Alan Hoenig, BogusłSaw Jackowski, Michael Jansson, Ronan Keryell, Alain LaBonté, David Lemon, Ken Lunde, Jim Lyles, Sergey Malkin, Sabine Millecamps (Harrie Potter), Lisa Moore, Tomohiko ...
