I read all of those preliminary pages before I start a book . . . and then I'll often read them again after I've finished.

I am a dork and I read it all!

Usually if I look at the copyright date it's when I'm trying to find the sequence of books in a series. Or there may be something in the book that makes me wonder when it was published. Otherwise, I don't really look at it. But I do always read the Acknowledgements, Dedications, quotes, etc. Sometimes the Acknowledgements show interesting connections - usually other writers who've helped them along. But, once in one of the Skip Langdon books by Julie Smith, centered around New Orleans, there was a thank you to one of our Deputy-Coroners here in No. CA. Never did find out how they connected. I knew him slightly from working at the Sheriff's office for a few months. He had a very weird sense of humor. At our big Christmas pot-luck lunch, he arrived to slice the turkey in his green, stained scrubs with a scalpel. LOL!!

I look at the publication date but that's it. It depends on the author as to if I read the intro. stuff or acknowledgements.
