When a book review this positive appears, questions of its authorship tend to arise. Indeed, more than one person has already asked me whether Kevin and I wrote the review ourselves. Well, we didn't. Steve Courtney did. Moreover, we can prove it because we've got the canceled check we wrote to him. Seriously, we're grateful to Steve for his kind words about our book and about our editing of it. I'm proud to have a played a small part in the book's creation, but I would like the world to know that the book was entirely Kevin's idea. Equal credit also goes to our team of contributors, with each of whom it was a joy to work. Their enthusiasm and commitment to making the book a success are the main reason the book is as good as it is. That said, I'll also offer thanks to Steve for his thoughtful and generous review. Neither Kevin nor I said a word to him about his review before he wrote it, so I'm especially pleased he made a point I had expressed while we were working on the book--that Hal Holbrook's foreword alone is worth the price of admission. Finally, lest there be any misunderstanding on this point--Steve, like all the book's contributors, is not making a nickel's profit from it.
