Acknowledgements

Some books have enigmatic acknowledgements pages

For M

Some have great big long ones which are useful for finding the name of writers' agents, editors, first English teacher etc.

Which is preferable? I think I prefer the long winded personal ones myself. They give you more of an insight into the writer.

There was an article in the Irish Times last Saturday noticing that a new, young writer had a full page of acknowledgements

thanking everyone from her seventh grade teacher to the cat's mother - worse than a speech after a GAA fund-raiser in Mullingar
