"A certain brilliant notion" acknowledgement
Hi there. I just finished the trilogy (which is exceptional) and saw in his acknowledgements that he thanks a friend for their idea concerning 'a certain brilliant notion concerning pictures in the subtle knife.' I'm not sure if this may just be in the British edition, I doubt it, but i have searched the internet and no-one has made reference to it. I really want to know now. Can anyone out there help me out?

Well, it's in my UK copy of TAS. I think he's thanking the woman he mentioned for the little pictures which head each chapter in TSK. Like the quotations do in TAS. It's not really that big a deal, which is probably why you couldn't find it on the net. I think that her 'brilliant notion' was most likely to make each picture show something from the upcoming chapter, which maybe they didn't before. Just speculating though.

You know, there's a LOT that you UK people have that us Americans don't, like the quotes heading the TAS chapters and stuff...

What, you have some kind of PI following me around?
(seriously...)
1) AOL is good. I doubt whatever you use is any better.
2) Don't tell me you're using Linux. And if you're on a Mac...ha.
3) So you'd rather not have the tourists? Fine. But around here, tourists are good.
