A short introduction to a book that goes before the main contents is a "fore-word" (as in "word"s that go be"fore"). It's pronounced the same way as "forward" (to go to"ward" the front), which is why they're often confused.</div><div><br></div><div>(A good name for a TNG-themed bookstore would be "Ten Foreword".)</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">De'vID</div></div>
