Tammy,
I've noticed similar notes in other books I've read. I don't care
whether they are added by the author or the publisher; I'm enough of a
font and history geek to find it interesting.
What did you think of Lucy? I really enjoyed it.
Julie

All,
I am an avid reader (Grisham, Cornwell, Turow, Crichton, etc.) and an
avid
historian as well and generally pay little attention to all the
front/back
matter in the book that talks about whom the author wishes to thank,
etc.,
but this one note that was in the back of a book that I am currently
reading
(Lucy, by Laurence Gonzalez) really caught my eye! Evidently, the
author
really likes all aspects of being a writer and it really illustrates the
lineage of our profession.
