Small Worlds: A Book of Photo Puzzles

By Matthew Wheeler

Small Worlds is a fascinating compendium: photographs of aspects of everyday objects-coins, keys, cutlery-that, in photographer Matthew Wheeler's hands, are not readily recognizable. How well do you know the world around you-the things right under your nose and at your fingertips? The 100 photographs, extreme close-ups of objects that surround us, are puzzles which readers will have great fun trying to identify; each photograph is accompanied by a clue, printed alongside, in case you need a helping hand. From keys on a piano to grooves on an LP record, Small Worlds is ideal for an extended car trip, camping trips in the rain, or a quiet evening at home. These intriguing images are just another means of looking at the world from another perspective. Take a look--a long look--at Small Worlds and your way of seeing things will never be the same again.

Fantastic

I am still stumped by one of the pictures -- but I won't cheat and look in the back. An excellent book to share with family and friends.

Hiding right in plain sight.

This is a little book just over 5X5 inches,containing 115 pictures.These aren't just photos but are photo puzzles.On top of that they are enlarged photos of tiny things.The whole object is not shown,just a part of it.So,that is the puzzle,from this 'hint',you have to figure what the object is.Examples;the ball tip of a ball point pen,the clip that holds the spring in a mousetrap,a partial view of a can opener,etc.These are common items,but quite difficult when seeing only part of the thing. If you like this sort of thing,you'll find some in the game "MindTrap" and even better you can go to the web site Mystery Photos.com and you can find lots more.You can sign up (free) and get a puzzle photo sent to you each week.Test your skill and then see what success others had trying to solve it.
