Funny or nice or interesting book dedications

Has anyone ever seen a dedication in the front of a book that they really liked? I started a new Tad Williams book today, and remembered the ones from the "Otherland" series:

Book 1:

"This Book is dedicated to my father Joseph Hill Evans with love.
Actually Dad doesn’t read fiction, so if someone doesn’t tell him about this, he’ll never know."


Book 2:

"This Book is dedicated to my father Joseph Hill Evans with love.
As I said before, Dad doesn’t read fiction. He still hasn’t noticed that this thing is dedicated to him. This is Volume Two – let’s see how man more until he catches on."


Book 3:

"This is still dedicated to you-know-who, even if he doesn’t.
Maybe we can keep this a secret all the way to the final volume."


Book 4:

"My father still hasn’t actually cracked any of the books – so, no, he still hasn’t noticed. I think I’m just going to have to tell him. Maybe I should break it to him gently.

'Everyone here who hasn’t had a book dedicated to them, take three steps forward. Whoops, Dad, hang on there for a second...' "

ha! thats gold! if i ever actually publish any of the things ive written, im so doing something like that!

Thats excellent!!

Not quite the same but me and a friend who i didnt see very often used to exchange gifts,and the first he gave me was a VERY good book,and he wrote the following inside the front cover...

"I love this book almost as much as i lov you,
and i love you almost as much as i love myself."

Thought it was kinda sweet in a narcissistic kinda way!!

Sounds like something I'd say Kels...

Very true...but you wouldn't have bought me a present ever!!
