In the nature of preparing a planning and design manual which covers a number of professional fields it is inevitable that it should draw from a wide variety of published sources, including textbooks, official handbooks, consultants' reports and manufacturers' information. The primary information sources are listed in a bibliography at the end of the manual and the author gratefully acknowledges these sources. Where diagrams and other material are reproduced these are by the kind permission of the authors. Many colleagues and friends provided material for the manual, either directly or through published reports and working papers.

Reference material was made available by the FAO library in Rome and the libraries in London of the Royal Geographical Society, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the Architectural Association. The author is particularly grateful to the following individuals for supplying information and illustrative material: G. Schuetz (FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, Santiago, Chile), K. Harrison (Agricultural Marketing Organization, Amman, Jordan), K.B. Atkins (Director, Commercial Services, Birmingham City Council), C.Y. Lee (Korea), HJ. Mittendorf (former Chief of the FAO Marketing and Credit Service), J. Novoa (FAO Rome) and C. Ungkarpla-Ong (Director, Cooperative Promotion Department, Bangkok, Thailand). The author is responsible for all editorial changes to the material used.

Continuous encouragement and constructive advice on the contents of the manual was provided by E. Seidler and A. Shepherd of the FAO Marketing and Credit Service.
