Dedications
'Dedications' Summary
Dedications is an anthology of dedications from the early days of bookmaking to the present day. The author's goal was to create a representative collection that included a variety of styles, tones, and subjects. The book includes dedications that are beautiful, quaint, curious, grave, gay, and everything in between. It also includes dedications to and by celebrated people, as well as dedications that touch on topics such as religion, philanthropy, the fine arts, science, nature, and travel. With its wide range of content, Dedications is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of bookmaking or the art of dedication.Book Details
