You have a great skill in 'telling the story' and showing multiple players and events happening at the same time.
So many stories I'll never forget, and stories I never knew. Truly outstanding job!
This is a ton of work. It's great to have all the stories told.

I worked with many of these people but there were many parts of the story I did not know, and learned from Timeline.
This is the best history of film/video editing development I've ever seen in one place.
This book will be used as an industry bible for decades to come.
