A Book to Pass the Time

This is an excellent compilation of puzzles that you would normally find in the magazine. They range from easy to very challenging. Great for travellers, commuters, or just sitting around with nothing to do. The hours fly by as you get sucked into some of the puzzles.

Great fun!

If you loved the old Games magazine, this will bring it all back. I bought it as a gift for my Dad, but had to force myself not to write in it myself! From wacky crossword-type puzzles to visual games and more, this has everything the old magazine had. Fun for individuals, groups, pairs.
