I forgot about this picture which I took quite a long time ago. After I signed the contract with O'Reilly for my book, they sent me a little packet of information with pointers such as what to do about writer's block, how to work with their templates, etc. Included in that were two classic writing books. On Writing Well by William Zimser and Strunk & White's The Elements of Style. It was a nice touch. Especially the ribbon which is a cute reference to O'Reilly's animal kingdom of books.
