Sick and tired of books and their ways
Dedications: to their bloody wives, kids, loved ones: sorry not interested so dont put it in the book. Tell them yourselves
Stupid quotes or poems at the beginning: No just get on with the book and stop being poncy.
Acknowledgements: No, not interested in who has helped you, send them an email but dont clog up the start of the book with your fake gratitude.
Preface: oh ffs just get on with it, if you have to wtite 4 pages of this bollocks your book isnt to the point enough.
Introduction: just get on with it, bloody hell fire
Just have a title page with the date and all the other copyright crap and publisher detail at the very back and start the bloody book on page one.
No wonder books are dying on their arse. What things about books annoys you?
