The recipients were Louis and Evelyn Blau; Louis was Kubrick's literary and film attorney. Louis was thanked by Christiane at the end of the book in the "Thanks" section. The "Jan" mentioned in the inscription is Jan Harlan (b. 1937), Christiane's brother and executive producer of several of Kubrick's films (including A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut, and more). From the personal collection of Louis Blau, literary and film attorney for Stanley Kubrick. An excellent association.
