Die Widmungen der anderen Reihen werden demnächst noch hinzugefügt.
Bei 4 der Spenser Romane konnte ich die Widmung nicht finden. Sollte jemand eines dieser Bücher haben, wäre ich sehr dankbar wenn er/sie kurz nachschauen und die Widmung aufschreiben könnte! Die befindet sich ja zumeist ganz vorne auf Seite 3 oder 4 des Roman's.
