cyclopedia of puzzlesThrough Brainwagon, I found a great book by Sam Loyd on mathpuzzle.com. The full title of the book is Sam Loyd’s Cyclopedia of 5000 Puzzles, Trick, and Conundrums with Answers. Published in 1914, the work is now in the public domain and Ed Pegg, Jr. has graciously made it available on his site. On the site, you’ll find 193 high quality scans containing all of the books pages. It’s a little hard to look through, but the full illustrations are available this way. I haven’t had a chance to look through the whole book yet, but puzzles of all kinds are available.

    Saw you in my referer log this morning, thanks for the link! My blog only contains intermittent puzzle content (mainly of the mathematical variety) but I enjoy the usual collection of Cryptic Crosswords, Sudoku and logic puzzles. I’m adding you to my blogroll. Thanks!
