Staff Recommendation - How to Draw and Complete Impossible Mazes

How to Draw and Complete Impossible Mazes
by Robert Stevenson [793.73 qSte]

This is one of the quirkiest books I've come across in the libraries' collection in several years. This oversized volume features Stevenson's instructions/advice on how to create challenging mazes for friends and family, and then presents 5 large, complex mazes for the reader to attempt to solve. Solutions are provided at the back of the book. If you're in the mood for some visual brain teasers, this collection of mazes should keep you busy for a while. Best used in conjunction with tracing or onion paper, so that you can see the maze through the thinner sheet that you're drawing on. Should appeal to puzzle lovers and brainiacs. -- recommended by Scott C. - Bennett Martin Public Library/Reference
