Thanks also go out to Carolyn Welch and Lisa McClain for filling in the gaps in my
college English courses, Mandy Canales for keeping me on schedule, and Scott Gossett,
who gave me good advice when the theoretical met the practical.
Many of my professional colleagues at Lands??™ End were a source of both inspiration and
guidance: Joe Johnson, Brook Swenson, and Ann Van Dyn Hoven. In this case, the whole
is truly greater than the sum of its parts.
If you have any questions or comments about any part of this book, please do not
