Steve Scanlon and Patrick Carson, two students of Aikido and BIM, helped
take the photos for this book, and I really appreciate their help. I am grateful to Steve
Scanlon and Sandy Willmore, who modeled for most of the photos.
PRINTING & BINDING COPIES
The e-book has been formatted so that you can print out a copy on standard
paper and have it bound. The margins have been set so that you can print it either
single or double sided, and it will still bind correctly.
READING THIS ON SCREEN
A reader of one of my books book asked how one could conveniently flip
through the book to find cross references when the book is being read on screen in-
stead of as a printed copy. The simple solution is to open a second window and use
the find function to go directly to the cross reference location in the second window.
That leaves the primary window unchanged so you can keep on reading.
