On this occasion, the publication of the author's preferred edition, I
would like to add the following names to the preceding list,
people who, though not known to me at the time I made the foregoing
acknowledgment, proved invaluable aid to me in bringing-Magician to the
public and contributed materially to my success:
Mary Ellen Curley, who took over from Katie and kept us all on course.
Peter Schneider, whose enthusiasm for the work gave me a valued ally
within Doubleday and a close friend for the last decade.
Lou Aronica, who bought it even when he really didn't want to do

Pat Lobrutto, who helped before it was his job, and who took over at a

Janna Silverstein, who despite her short tenure as my editor has shown
an uncanny knack for knowing when to leave me alone and when to stay
in touch.
Nick Austin, John Booth, Jonathan Lloyd, Malcolm Edwards, and everyone

Tsuranuanni are as much her inventions as mine. I drew the outlines
and she colored in the details.
And Jonathan Matson, who received the torch from a great man's hand
and continued without faltering, for wise counsel and friendship. The
acorn fell very close to the tree.
And most of all, my wife Kathlyn s. Starbuck, who understands my pain
and joy in this craft because she toils in the same vineyard, and who is
always there even when I don't deserve to have her there, and who
makes things make sense through her love.
