Grammar
To autograph or address (a book) as a gift
Hi
I understand that 'autograph' means to write something with hand. What does "address" mean in the context below? Is "in" really necessary? Why is it required? Please help me. Thanks.
inscribe
2 a : to write, engrave, or print characters upon b : to autograph or address (a book) as a gift
4 : to draw within a figure so as to touch in as many places as possible a regular polygon inscribed in a circle
