As
was the case with the first edition, I had the great fortune to work with
a highly talented, knowledgeable, and always good-humored editor, Sabra
Bissette Ledent.

Preface, Governing by Consent: An Introduction to American Politics,
by John F. Bibby (CQ Press)
The
folks at CQ also gave me the best editor they could have chosen, Sabra
Bissette Ledent. A North Carolinian living in Quebec, Sabra brought just
the right touch of humor and background to the project. She organized and
reorganized my random collection of facts into a coherent whole, spotted
and filled dozens of omissions, and mercilessly kept me going until we
had both achieved a work we could be proud of. My special thanks to Sabra.

Special
thanks are also due to two individuals who have made extraordinary contributions
to this edition: . . . and Sabra Bissette Ledent, whose meticulous attention
to detail, skillful editing, mastery of prose, and diplomatic talent in
managing two coauthors with sometimes different views contributed enormously
to the organization, substance, and readability of this edition.
