Bibliography
Owl could spell his own name WOL, and he could spell Tuesday so that you knew it wasnt Wednesday, and he could read quite comfortably when you werent looking over his shoulder and saying Well? all the time, and he could
Well? said Rabbit.

No claim is made for completeness of this bibliography. The entries consist of books, articles and films that I have read, viewed, come across in libraries, read reviews of, or seen references to, and which I consider relevant to the text and not more difficult than a certain vaguely defined level of difficulty. For the purpose of this book the entries are classified according to a rather unsystematic but convenient list of subjects. Each entry was assigned to a main subject and possibly a number of minor subjects and appears under its main subject with its minor subjects, if any, listed in parentheses following the entry. The minor subjects are cross-referenced. Each subject is indicated by a mnemonic abbreviation, and the subjects are arranged in alphabetical order of their mnemonics. References in the text have the form (ART, 5), meaning the fifth entry under the subject Symmetry in art, whose mnemonic is ART. The order of listing of entries under each subject is of no significance.
I will be grateful for suggestions of possible additions to this bibliography.
