CKNOWLEDGMENTS
Of all the many debts of gratitude incurred during the writing of this book, the greatest is certainly the one that I owe to my indefatigable research assistant, drs Henk Looijesteijn of Amsterdam. Being both a specialist in the economic history of the Golden Age and himself the son of a long line of bulb growers, drs Looijesteijn could hardly have been better qualified to conduct original research on my behalf in the archives of Haarlem, Amsterdam, and The Hague and to serve as my guide to the copious Dutch literature on the subject.
Tulipomania
could not have been written without him.
My introduction to drs Looijesteijn came through the courtesy of Henk van Nierop of the University of Amsterdam, himself among the most distinguished historians of the period. Others who assisted me in the Netherlands included Jaap Looijesteijn, bulb grower of Breezand, and drs Daan de Clerq of Amsterdam, who shared information concerning his ancestor Jacques de Clerq.
I am grateful for the help and guidance of my agent, Patrick Walsh, and my editor, Rachel Kahan, whose suggestions substantially improved the quality of my work. Tina Walsh translated some
particularly obscure passages of Old Dutch for me. The person who worked longest and hardest to see this book to completion, however, was Penny, who has my thanks and all my love.
