Photo of a dedication in a book.

"I want to thank everyone who helped me create this book, except for that guy who yelled at me in Kmart when I was eight because he thought I was being “too rowdy.” -You're an asshole, sir"

Caption: BEST BOOK EVER

Well, I don't know about "Best Book", but it's at least in the running for "Best Book Dedication" 😂 @reading @joinin @bookstodon @books @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop #BookMemes #Meme #Humor #Humour #Funny#ReadingMemes #Reading #Readers #ReadingCommunity#Litterature #Novel #Bookshelf #Books #Bookstodon #FantasyBooks
