Also listed as copyright 1958 with a cover price of $1.25. Total weight of both boo...

101 Amusements for All, by Charles F. Bishop, MMC, published around 1953 by Faber and Faber. No dust jacket, average wear. Small piece of tape on inside front cover, some pencil marks in the body of the book. Features an interesting variety of 101 word, math, and riddle puzzles.

Non Sequitur 1987 Original, One of a Kind Graphic Artist Jigsaw

Created over 20 years ago, it reflects pop art of that time with social references as well. Sadly, I can only read and remember the artists first name, "Dan". I did look him up, "google" and he is a noted artist, but at this time not a recognized artist. (yet?) It is a double sided puzzle for an additional challenge. Unique, and ...

Batch of 24 cube-dexterity puzzles
This is a batch of 24 assorted cube-shaped dexterity puzzles. Some duplicates, which I've grouped together in the photo. One cube is scratched up, the rest are in very good condition. One has glitter embedded in the plastic (came that way) to make it more appealing to people who don't like dexterity puzzles. Each cube is 1.5" in size.
