On a personal note, I won an autographed copy of this book, a promotional t-shirt, and a couple Coriolis Press keychains in a contest. On a humorous note, Bob Young signs his last name like this: "Y____g". But I guess that's one step up from my Tech. Math teacher, who signs his name like this: "----".
