2.0 out of 5 stars
Does not include solid or plywood puzzles,
By A Customer
This review is from: Master Pieces: Art History of Jigsaw Puzzles (Hardcover)
While beautiful this book was a disappointment and and the title misleading. We are sending it back.It is limited to cardboard puzzles, many of which are a "dime a dozen". The most highly valued, most complicated and sought after puzzles, solid wood and plywoood, are not included.

SUPERB!!!!!!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Master Pieces: Art History of Jigsaw Puzzles (Hardcover)
If Amazon offered EIGHT stars, this would be the book that would do it. The 500 plus puzzles shown, are simply gorgeous in full color and provide a vehicle for the true purpose of the book - a presentation of beautiful paintings as expressed on puzzles. The informative and fascinating artist biographies and collecter's value guide make this the perfect book for puzzle collectors and art lovers, alike. I was delighted by this wonderful book and find it brings more enjoyment everytime I open it.

Beautiful to hold and read - art and puzzle lore in one!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Master Pieces: Art History of Jigsaw Puzzles (Hardcover)
Not just for puzzle fans! A stunning presentation - famous and not famous, new and familiar art as represented in jigsaw puzzles over the years. Presented with tidbits of information scattered throughout the book, it's a pleasure to hold, to handle and to browse. I intended to buy just one for a puzzle fan friend, but now I find that I want to keep the copy I have and am buying another to give away. And, if you have any old puzzles in the attic - check it out! They may be more than lovely to look at - they may be worth something too! Beautifully indexed and edited - a real pleasure.
