Credits for Edits

I have a question that I'm hoping someone can help me out with, either by posting to this blog or emailing me directly.

As an Editor of both fiction and non-fiction, I've had occasion to wonder why non-fiction editors are acknowledged on the imprint page (the page with all of the copyright and publishing information) while fiction editors seem to be acknowledged (seemingly less officially) on acknowledgements pages at the discretion of the author.

I've asked several people about this and the responses have varied from, 'Hey, I never noticed that!' to 'Yeah, that's weird; let me know what you find out!'

If anyone has an answer, please put me out of my curiosity-induced misery!

OK, weekend or no, I'd better get to work!
