Possessions

This page is an outgrowth of my gift list, which used to be much longer. It lists works of literature and art of which I already possess a copy, so that there's little point in giving me a new one. (Of course, there's not much point anyway in giving me a copy of something normally overpriced that I can probably find in a library, but sometimes people like to give gifts.)

The list is by no means exhaustive, although it should be exhaustive within the name of each author or artist.
