Paratext fascinates me to no end. I love looking and thinking about all of the pieces that comprise a book which aren't the actual narrative itself: the book's colophon, the book's description and flap copy, the author's biography, and the copyright page hold so much information about the book and its context that overlooking them feels wrong. I believe in reading a book's introduction, as well as any foreword or afterword, and I can't get enough of a book dedication or acknowledgements.
