According to the previous bookseller, the inscription was made to fellow science fiction author and editor Richard Delap (1942-1987), who collaborated with Ellison and two others to edit The Essential Harlan Ellison, published shortly before Delap's death from an AIDS related condition in 1987. Laid in is a small scrap of paper on which Delap evidently wrote down some of his initial thoughts on this collection ("too much repetitious attention to moody detail").
