"I was so pleased when Colin asked me to write the Foreword for this book, because it's high time someone took you step-by-step through this process, to simplify something that might otherwise be unnecessarily overcomplicated. Now, you have in your hands something more than a book - it's actually more like a course on formatting and designing your book." - Penny C.
