Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of AspectJ Cookbook is a marmoset.Marmosets are small monkeys (usually no bigger than an oversized rat) that live in the tropical and subtropical forests of South America.They are arboreal and incredibly agile.Their powerful hind legs, dextrous claw-like hands, and extra-long tails make swinging from branch to branch a breeze.

Marmosets are not too picky about what they eat.They are partial to tree sap (the stickier the better), but they also enjoy lizards, frogs, snails, insects, fruit, and nectar.

A group of marmosets (a social group consists of 8-20 individuals) communicates with facial expressions, body movements, and occasional squeaks. They also rely heavily on smell to identify each other.A highly adaptable species, marmosets can endure blistering temperatures and sparse forest environments. Because of this tenacity, they are not under serious threat, unlike most other primates. Matt Hutchinson was the production editor for AspectJ Cookbook. GEX, Inc. provided production services.Marlowe Shaeffer, Sarah Sherman, and Emily Quill provided quality control.

Emma Colby designed the cover of this book, based on a series design by Edie Freedman.The cover image is a 19th-century engraving from Illustrated Natural History. Clay Fernald produced the cover layout with QuarkXPress 4.1 using Adobe's ITC Garamond font.

Melanie Wang designed the interior layout, based on a series design by David Futato. This book was converted by Julie Hawks to FrameMaker 5.5.6 with a format conversion tool created by Erik Ray, Jason McIntosh, Neil Walls, and Mike Sierra that uses Perl and XML technologies.The text font is Linotype Birka; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed.The illustrations that appear in the book were produced by Robert Romano, Jessamyn Read, and Lesley Borash using Macromedia FreeHand MX and Adobe Photoshop CS.The tip and warning icons were drawn by Christopher Bing. This colophon was written by Matt Hutchinson.
