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 animal featured on the cover of Perl in a Nutshell is a camel (one-hump dromedary). Camels are large ruminant mammals, weighing between 1,000 and 1,600 pounds and standing six to seven feet tall at the shoulders. They are well known for their use as draft and saddle animals in the desert regions, especially of Africa and Asia. Camels can go for days without water. If food is scarce, they will eat anything, even their owner's tent. Camels live up to 50 years. Ellie Fountain Maden was the production editor and project manager for Perl in a Nutshell. Nicole Gipson Arigo was the copyeditor, and Ellie Cutler proofread the book. Clairemarie Fisher O'Leary, Jane Ellin, Maureen Dempsey, and Sheryl Avruch provided quality control reviews. Seth Maislin wrote the index, and Robert Romano created the illustrations in Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and Macromedia Freehand 7.0. The inside layout was designed by Edie Freedman and Nancy Priest and was formatted in troff by Lenny Muellner, using ITC Garamond Light, ITC Garamond Book, LetterGothicMT, and LetterGothicMT-Oblique fonts. This colophon was written by Michael Kalantarian. |
