One of my favourite dedications is in the preface to “Real Analysis: A long-form mathematics textbook” by Jay Cummings (which is as it sounds a maths textbook). The dedication reads
“To my loving wife, who read this entire book, apart from the maths parts.”
These are really beautiful. I stumbled on it this morning when I woke up & took a nap afterwards…ended up dreaming about my mum and giving her a warm goodbye hug.

Thank you for sharing
If you read this and thought “these are twee, and I long not to read their books” - you got a friend in me.
None of these comes close to hypocrite lecteur, mon semblable, mon frère.
Holding on to a shadow where love and life once lived.
These were touching to read
Man these tore me up. What wonderfully written sentiments.
