Credits & Resources

Pen & Ink

When we started this website some 20 years ago, several sections were “books” in and of themselves. At that time, we designated separate pages to recognize credits and contributors. Consequentially, many of our earliest pages do not properly list resources. However, after several years, we began to list credits and resources at the bottom of the article.

For those early pages, credits and resources can be found below.
