Of course, in a way they are. I dusted each one with a little paintbrush (this particularly maddened him), which at times made me feel as though I were on an archaeological dig, which, once again, in a way I was, stopping to leaf through some of the ones I hadn't had in my hands for a while.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd that was when I stumbled on Hunter S Thompson's dedication of \u003Ci\u003EFear and Loathing\u003C\/i\u003E to Bob Dylan, and realised that I had let Books in the City's anniversary go by this year without my usual post honouring shining examples of the fine art of book dedication.

I was curious to know if this dislike of Phoenix was something HST had actually expressed, or if Phoenix were a metaphor Brinkley came up with for the occasion. Perhaps it's a 21st century version of when East Coast theatre critics used to use Peoria, Illinois as an example of the cultureless wasteland of mid-America: \"Will it play in Peoria?\" they used to say.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI tried googling Phoenix and culture to see what would come up. So, Douglas, there are actually five book clubs in Phoenix, including one called \"Chow Bella\" devoted to books about food, and one called \"Devouring Divas\", which, as much as I'd like to think that it's a bookclub where Hannibal Lecter types discuss books while munching on opera stars, is probably not.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBut best of all, for me, were these two lines which appeared near the end:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003EJuan Thompson recalls hotel bills from 20 years past, and 1,000 small, hotel-sized bars of Neutrogena soap Thompson probably purchased when he first discovered the brand.\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnita Thompson said her husband learned his archival ways from his mother, a librarian.\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E(you can \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/article\/20050530\/NEWS\/50530005\"\u003Eread the whole article online at www.summit daily.com\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.syndetics.com\/index.aspx?isbn=9780007299263\/mc.gif\u0026amp;upc=\u0026amp;oclc=\u0026amp;client=elgar\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"syndetics-lc\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.syndetics.com\/index.aspx?isbn=9780007299263\/mc.gif\u0026amp;upc=\u0026amp;oclc=\u0026amp;client=elgar\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cb\u003E2.

And the more I came across her, the more she appealed to me, this talented woman with her warm, slightly muddled and yet serenely unfazed, air.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EShe made me think of a beloved aunt of mine who somewhat resembled her physically, the cheeks and the unruly curls. Like Diana Wynne Jones she had not had a happy childhood, if for different reasons, and she seemed to live in a world where real and unreal coexisted without being aware that this could be seen as a problem. She would do things like announcing she was getting married and inviting us to her wedding, and then when her brother, my uncle, not a rich man, travelled all the way across the US to be there, he called us when he got home to report that they'd had a lovely visit, but that the entire weekend had gone by, not only without any incarnation of a wedding or a partner, but without either of these even being mentioned.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/books\/2003\/apr\/23\/booksforchildrenandteenagers.familyandrelationships?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487\"\u003E2003 interview with Dina Rabinovitch for\u0026nbsp;\u003Ci\u003EThe Guardian\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;in which the Harry Potter question is asked.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/books\/booksblog\/2011\/mar\/29\/diana-wynne-jones-chrestomanci?intcmp=239\"\u003E\"The wild magic of Diana Wynne Jones\"\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;is a lovely obituary of Wynne Jones by Alison Flood which appeared in \u003Ci\u003EThe Guardian\u003C\/i\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.syndetics.com\/index.aspx?isbn=9780099541653\/mc.gif\u0026amp;upc=\u0026amp;oclc=\u0026amp;client=elgar\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"syndetics-lc\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.syndetics.com\/index.aspx?isbn=9780099541653\/mc.gif\u0026amp;upc=\u0026amp;oclc=\u0026amp;client=elgar\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cb\u003E3.
