	About Manning
		In 1992 Manning produced the first authoritative book on the Internet technologies, The Internet System Handbook, edited by Dan Lynch (then head and owner of the Interop conference series) and Marshall Rose.
		The cast of characters who wrote chapters in the book--Vint Cerf, the recently deceased Jon Postel, and other original developers of the technologies underlying the Internet--have set it apart from all books on this topic.
		The Internet System Handbook, published under the Addison Wesley imprint, is considered a classic.
