As explained in the IPP21 souvenir booklet, Minoru Abe is the "No. 1 sliding block puzzle creator in Japan." SOLO ANOTHER was made in a limited quantity by Abe for the 21st International Puzzle Party, held in Tokyo in 2001, 25 years ago. It was used by Koji Hirotsu for his exchange puzzle that year.
Of the 80-or-so Minoru Abe puzzles that have been offered over the years on the CubicDissection Marketplace and Puzzle Paradise, I believe that this one has only been offered once before.
This copy of SOLO ANOTHER is in mint condition as it has never been opened. It comes in its original box with all of its original paperwork.
I will ship SOLO ANOTHER within the US as a ground advantage
(first class) package for between $7.50 and $8.50 depending on postal
code, or at insured priority mail pricing for between $10.40 and $12.10
depending on postal code, if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost, likely around $22 for an object this size, but I
cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured or tracked. Please do not send payment until the
postage cost
is determined. Note, sadly, that tariff wars may be in effect for
packages received in certain countries.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my copy of SOLO ANOTHER.
Thank you for viewing my auction!
