gratitude to Dale Dougherty and everyone at Make:
for creating the space for the maker movement to
thrive.
We are also grateful to many others, who fueled the
AtFAB experiment. Thank you to John Baucus at
SketchUp, as well as OpenDesk’s founders, James
Arthur, Ian Bennink, Nick Ierodiaconou, and Joni
Steiner, for sharing common ambitions for this new
design territory. We also owe thanks to Matthijs
Bouw, Michael Kubo, and Nader Tehrani for their sig-
nificant intellectual support and encouragement, as
well as to Bre Pettis and Jenny Lawton for tossing us
into the deep end of the pool with a project of a life-
time. We’d be remiss if we didn’t thank our European
friends Bertier Luyt, Zoe Romano, Costantino Bon-
giorno, and Mischa Schaub for the ongoing support,
conversations, and collaborations. And, finally,
thanks to our research assistants Maggie Clines,
Seth Gover, Sydney Kidd, Joe O’Toole, and Carolyn
Parrish who enthusiastically drew, coded, cut, and
prototyped the first AtFAB pieces alongside us.
COLOPHON
This book was written in AsciiDoc, a light-
weight, plain-text, human-readable documen-
tation markup language and toolchain for
HTML, DocBook, PDF, and ePub conversion—
it’s like Markdown, but more powerful. The
AsciiDoc files were converted on the fly to
HTMLBook (an open, XHTML5-based standard
for the authoring and production of both print
and digital books) and then to the final print
and digital PDF, eBook, and ePub via O’Reilly
Media’s Atlas publishing platform, which is Git
version controlled.
The text and images were laid out using CSS as
processed by the typesetting software Antenna
House (Formatter V6.2 Maintenance Release
5). Multiple weights and variants of the Benton
Sans typeface were used; including Light,
Book, Regular, Medium, Italic, and Condensed.
The single exception is the Table of Contents
secondary section headings, which are Open
Sans.
