This book is dedicated to the memory of my old friend, Mark Salzer.
In many ways, credit for this book goes to the CorelDRAW community at large. The lessons in this book draw on my experiences with students who I trained in CorelDRAW, as well as suggestions from teachers and readers of my earlier CorelDRAW books. I also got invaluable help from the folks at Corel, including CorelDRAW product manager Joe Donnelly, Michelle Murphy Croteau, Jessica Gould, and Cathy Hanan.
I'm tremendously indebted to my creative and artistic collaborator on this book, Paul Mikulecky. In my humble opinion, Paul is one of the most talented graphic professionals working with CorelDRAW today. I know that readers will find his illustrations illuminating and stimulating.
Todd Pfeffer gave me the opportunity to write this book for Sams. Jennifer Eberhardt provided encouragement, good vibes, and thoughtful editing. A vast crew at Macmillan Computer Publishing made it possible for you to get your hands on this book, including publisher Jordan Gold, brand manager Alan Bower, managing editor Brice Gosnell, executive editor Beth Millett, project editor Kevin Laseau, copy editor San Dee Phillips, technical editor T. Michael Clark, team coordinator Carol Ackerman, and manufacturing coordinator Paul Gilchrist.
