Thank you for reading my book about Jim Tanner and the ivory-billed woodpecker. I could have easily written 500 or 600 pages on the topic, but books have to be contained.
Like a two-and-a-half rough-cut movie that has to be trimmed down to two hours, the last two months of editing were all about nipping scenes and background information. At times I felt like I was lopping off my fingers and toes. (Don't worry fans of the Coen Brothers' "The Big Lebowski," I'm still intact: all ten digits are accounted for.)
So keeping with the movie analogy, this is the special features section my DVD. From time to time, I'll add deleted scenes and other background information that I collected but was unable to include in the final product.
