Jean Cocteau customized his dedications with drawings. He used to repeat the outline of a man, traced in one movement ; the line ending on the single first name Jean. Cocteau always signed with his trademark, a star.The many variations of those dedications could, by their specifities, be worthy of a book.
Currently, the Librairie Loliée offers various original editions with drawings by Cocteau :

- Les Enfants Terribles, Paris, Grasset, 1929, on Alfa paper
