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? |

It takes a certain kind of person to understand the perfection of books

bin the crap at the front and get on with it. Have a proper summary on the back of what is inside. stop with the "its the best thing since sliced bread - daily star. crap reviews that noone believes . Stop with the silly hardback nonsense where it comes out at 15.99, noone pays that and it ends up in bargain books for 99p. No book should cost more that Ł2.
scrap all coffee table books and dust jackets |

I have paid 18.99 for hardbacks from my favourite authors but that's just my choice, I prefer getting the hardback because the paperbacks don't tend to be released up until another year from the hardback date, but then those are just my personal preferences. |

Nothing really annoys me. But if I get a new book I don't like opening it fully to read it because it will wrinkle the spine.
But I get what you mean about the reviews, it seems like every book is the "#1 best seller" etc. However physical books are making a comeback and sales have risen for the first time in years, whilst Kindles and e-books have fallen in sales: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...me-in-four-ye/ |
