The following list of selected books I’ve edited omits dozens of technical books with exciting titles such as NetWare User’s Guide; Introducing VBScript and Active X; Linux Network Toolkit; and C++ in Plain English. You get the idea. I also omit many dozens of poetry books I’ve published with my own press, Press Here, and books that I’ve edited and designed for various poetry organizations. Four poetry books that I’m also particularly proud to have worked on are Fire in the Treetops, a poetry anthology I edited and designed for Haiku North America, celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary; Here, There, and Everywhere, a poetry anthology for the Redmond Association of Spokenword, for which I was editor and book designer; A Haiku Path, the Haiku Society of America’s twentieth anniversary anthology of essays, criticism, and history, for which I served as managing editor, designer, art director, print buyer, and copyeditor; and Tidepools: Haiku On Gabriola, published by Pacific Rim Publishers, which I envisioned, developed, edited, and designed. It was a pleasure to work with each of these authors and publishers.

        Some of the varied subjects I’ve edited include soldering, jazz, plywood manufacturing, children’s literature, computer animation, workplace violence, travel, memoir, fiction, digital photography, textbooks, business books, dissertations, business plans, and more—mostly books about computer software. See also books I’ve published with my own press, Press Here, and my own books.
