"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...

1. AOL
2. Microsoft
3. Annoying tourists

Not that I like the British any more...

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.

What's wrong with a mac?!?

They're pretty colours.

Seriously? I mean, they use Motorola CPUs!

Anyway...

macs are better for using lots and lots of digital fotos (liek my dad does with both of his) and at least mac give u a relatively free reign on what youre doing, unlike windows,
