Well, let's be honest: Derek Bacon does not personally do absolutely all the research and writing for the So You... series, any more than all the various O'Reilly manuals are actually written by Tim O'Reilly. His is the guiding spirit and the imprimatur, but his own hand is not specifically responsible for every word between those distinctive white, blue and red covers.

Though the three most famous and numerous titles in the series, So You've Just Arrived from a Parallel Dimension, So You're Not the Master Race, and So You've Become Unstuck in Time, are all his own work, as is the rather more niche-y but in its field indispensable So You're Not Who You Thought You Were: Coping With Manchurian Deprogramming and the enormously popular So You Shouldn't Have Eaten That.
