Special thanks to Proasek for inventing the Ambrose franchise, without which this horrible idea would never have evolved! Be sure to check out Proasek's author page for more ambrosial goodness.
Big big thanks to stormbreath for a) creating Ambrose London Prix Fixe from which most of my CSS is stolen, b) helping me make the stolen code actually work, and c) giving me good crits on the text. Thanks to
Uncle Nicolini for further help with CSS shenanigans. Thanks to
psul on the forums and
Captain Kirby in chat for giving me excellent guidance and critiques on the text.
