I actually read the preface to most of the books I buy, and I came across this gem in Writing Apache Modules in Perl and C:
Lincoln also wishes to extend his personal gratitude to his wife, Jean, who put up with his getting up at 5:30 every morning to write. The book might have gotten done a bit earlier if she hadn't always been there to lure him back to bed, but it wouldn't have been half as much fun.
Go Lincoln! Hubba, hubba.
