Sorry for nitpicking, and I might be wrong, but isn't that called
"foreword" instead of "forward"?
I'm serious, rally, I don't know. I've seen that in books sometimes and
I'm really not sure if it's a typo or really the same.
Yes, it's a common misspelling. 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.
(A good name for a TNG-themed bookstore would be "Ten Foreword".)
