Almost every page. There's a command defined in the doc's preamble, and
before compilation, the person's name is substituted for a token in the
name. That command prints in the page footers on every mainmatter page
that isn't the first page of a chapter.

The footer says "Prepared exclusively for Scott Kostyshak", discretely,
in a red/maroon bar.
