About this Item

As New; pristine. See scan. Chicago: Games / Playboy Enterprises, Inc., 1981. The July, 1981. 7th Issue of The Four-Star Puzzler. Quarto, printed stapled wraps, 12 pp. Pristine in every way (see scan); even the tipped-in subscription card is still in place and immaculate - though you certainly can't use it now. A thin - twelve pages - but trenchant, memorable and collectible aggregation of puzzles from the masters who brought fame to the puzzles of Games Magazine, among other notable routes of the New Wave puzzling world. In this 7th issue, editors Will Shortz and Henry Hook provide crossword variants, an acrostic (anacrostic), a logic problem, rebus cartoons, cryptograms, "The Sphinx Page" (riddles and other puzzles in the style of the vintage "patron Saint of Puzzledom" known as "The Sphinx"), a Detective puzzle, and much more from the minds of Will Weng, Robert D. Spurrier, Linda Bosson, Stephanie Spadaccini, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon, Henry Hook, Paul R. McClenon, Sally Porter, Charles A. Duerr, Kenneth Feucht, Robert L. Liddil and of course Shortz, Hook and Shenk themselves. Don't lay pen or pencil to these virgin pages; instead, scan them and solve them on the scans. Keep this treasure in your collection, unbesmirched. Scarcer than hen's teeth - in almost any condition. Seventh Issue in the brilliant but short-lived series, which ended with the 32nd issue in August, 1983. LPR5.
