Dedications

Most of the book dedications I come across are of a personal nature. Authors thank their friends, families, their children, their inspirations for helping them to achieve the completion of their work. Some authors, on the other hand, use their book dedications to fully embrace their full vitriolic potential. Mental Floss has put together a list of not-so-gracious book dedications, designed to shock and sometimes ridicule. One of my personal favorites though did not make the list. It's from "House of Leaves" by Mark Z. Danielewski: "This is not for you."
