She has been the copyeditor for the entire series, and the volumes have benefitec! greatly from her meticulous and thoughtful reading of each volume. Though her duties and responsibilities at the press have grown since our work began fifteen years ago, she has been dedicated to the series and has seen it through to the end. Our volumes could not have been in finer hands.
