Acknowledgments

The first line of the acknowledgments section in virtually every book goes something like this: To list everyone I want to thank for their contributions to this book would be a book in itself. You really don't know how true that is until you write your own book.

Book Yourself Solid Illustrated is the third in the Book Yourself Solid line of books and I think it's the best. I wish I could take credit for it but the book is better than my original because of the contributions of Jocelyn Wallace. Her talent is immeasurable and her work ethic is, frankly, astonishing.

My agent, Stephen Hanselman, is the coolest cat in town. My right-hand man, Matthew Kimberley, is the most trustworthy and capable business partner a guy can have. My ops team, lead by Jaimie and Dan VanSickle, allow me to live the life of my dreams. My partner, Petra Kolber, is a beacon in a sea of mediocrity. My son, Jake, makes me a better person. In all of these relationships, I'm the lucky one.

thanks

Michael is right as usual—I can't thank everyone who played a role in making this book possible. But there are a few who get me choked up. Head nods, fist bumps, and high-fives:

To my morning reading companion. Thanks for the gift. I hope it makes you smile. ...
