Actually, the original Wrox (when they were an independent UK-based publisher) got this right; when Wiley took over the brand they messed it up, largely due to a lack of coordination between their "editorial" and "production" departments - a distinction which didn't exist in the much smaller Wrox company. When the technical editor and I realized the page proofs didn't have the alphabetical section headings we tried to get it fixed but were told it was too late to change, for which I can only apologize to readers! I'm in the very early stages of discussion with Wiley about doing a revised edition of the books to fix the few areas where the final specs have diverged. Don't hold your breath.
