QUOTATION REFERENCES

(revision 10-11-05)

These quotation references should be read in conjunction with the hardback text, and the printed bibliographic information at the end of the book. Numbers refer to page numbers in the text. AI = Author’s interview; E = Email with author; Occasionally (and inconsistently) I call out a bit of information in brackets [] instead of quotes when I chose to give a reference for information but not a quotation from the text. Some additional web references of interest sometimes are inserted as appropriate.
