This book would not have been possible without our combined eagerness to be innovative and creative inspired by our publisher and friend Jeff Shelstad, the gentle but persistent chiding of Jenn Yee, and the helpful gap filling of Melissa Yu, Andrea Meyer, Claire Hunter, and Sailaja Kattubadi. We also thank Margaret Lannamann for doing such a great job keeping all the balls in the air.
