In all things, I take full responsibility for any errors made here. I will post images associated with all the places in the book on my website, www.ajhartley.net, where I can also be reached if you have comments.
Lastly, special thanks to my agent, Stacey Glick, and to my wife, always my first reader, and to those others who have given me feedback on the manuscript, particularly Edward Hurst, Ruth Morse, Bob Croghan, and Mark Pizzato, and to my editor Kate Chynoweth, whose insight and patience helped turn my sprawling drafts into an actual book.
As ever, thanks for reading, and best wishes.
