Notes
When I first opened this book of 365 puzzles (yes, one for each day of the year) back when it was originally published (1981), little did I realize that I'd still be reading it almost 20 years later! The puzzles (created by Ben Hamilton, one of Britain's most respected puzzlemakers and the former Puzzles Editor for the monthly "Games and Puzzles" magazine) are short and concise in presentation, and are fun to solve. There are a variety of word, math, and logic puzzles to keep you from getting bored. Similarly, the puzzles range in difficulty so readers of all ages can enjoy this collection. The only weak point to this book is that while all the answers are provided, they tend to simply state the solution without reviewing the logic or mathematical proof, so if you don't know HOW to solve the problem, the solutions won't help much. Still, it is an indespensible and enjoyable collection of marvelous puzzles -- one that will likely stay on your bookshelf as long as it has on mine.
