Typographical Notes
This book was typeset using the Lucida fonts designed by Bigelow and Holmes (9.5 on 12 pt) and was formatted under xviii-02.gif 2eaided considerably by the many wonderful macro packages described in The xviii-03.gif Companion (Addison-Wesley, 1994) by Goosens, Mittelbach, and Samarin. The graphics, drawn from countless sources, were made possible in their present (relatively) beautified forms thanks in part to the timely development of Adobe's Acrobat Distiller.
