A great read is Anne William's book, The Jigsaw Puzzle - Piecing Together a History. This is an outstanding piece on jigsaw puzzles. Great to think that famous people love them too. The first sentence from Anne's book is "Queen Elizabeth, Bill Gates, Stephen King, Albert Einstein, Barbara Bush, virtually every preschooler in America, and millions more, how can they all fit naturally into the same sentence?"
