This book is dedicated to my wife, Sabrina. She has always put up with, and still puts up with, the long hours, the trips out of town, and all the meetings. She is my rock. I love you, Sabrina.

This series of books is also dedicated to all the “newbies” who want to “learn it all,” to all the great production people who work so hard that they can’t possibly “know it all,” and last but not least, to the old salts who “invented it all.” Thank you, “one and all.”
