This section of the
AgeOfPuzzles.com I'd like to devote to the most
prominent puzzle authors, and some selection of their
books mostly published in the past years. Authors have
their own pages where growing lists of their books are
presented. Obviously, it's just a small part of nice,
must-have puzzle books, so I plan to add even more great
puzzle books in the future. Mostly, these books are
available at big book stores all over the World, both
virtual and real, such as
Amazon.com or
Barnes & Noble.
Also, you can visit our special page,
Puzzle Book Showroom, where some of our favorite
puzzle books presented at our website are collected in
the compact form, so that to make them easy and quickly
accessible. |
