Books have been dedicated not only to people but also to God, animals, buildings – and even a canoe. Whoever or whatever the dedicatee, dedications themselves offer an intriguing insight into the personal interests, preoccupations, and affections of history's greatest writers. Included here are hundreds of dedications ranging from the literary to the light-hearted, the prosaic to the punchy. In most cases author Adrian Room provides commentary explaining the circumstances of the dedications, identifying the dedicatees and setting them in their historical context. For lovers of books and authors, the "Tuttle Dictionary of Dedications" is a treasure trove of literary fact and fancy that provides sometimes humorous and sometimes poignant glimpses into the private lives of famous authors.
