The novel takes the form of a long poem with annotations by a mad scholar. The poem begins, "I was the shadow of the waxwing slain/ By the false azure in the windowpane." Blodgett is the "real" last name of the heroine in all three versions of the film ''A Star Is Born''. The waxwing is also of interest because of its striking appearance: Its black "mask" is appropriate for someone in Blodgett's line of work. ==Page 247== [[image:steele-JPK.jpg|thumb|100px|Steele & JPK|right]]'''247.06 Bob Steele'''<br /> Steele's westerns were produced by Nalline Slothrop's pal, Joseph Kennedy, Sr. steele.jpg (12302 bytes)jpk.jpg (15317 bytes) '''247.14 Theophile'''<br /> From the Greek for "Lover of God." ==Page 248== '''248.40-41 a business card, embossed with a chess knight'''<br /> On the television show ''Have Gun Will Travel'', which debuted in 1957, the gunslinger-for-hire Paladin (Richard Boone) gave out business cards embossed with a chess knight. {{GR PbP}}
