DEDICATION

If, as Eugene Field suggests, womenfolk
are few in that part of paradise especially
reserved for book-lovers I do not care. One
woman will be there, for I shall insist that
eight and twenty years probation entitles
her to share my biblio-bliss above as she
has shared it here below. That woman is
my wife.
