Book Description

May 1, 2001
Art Puzzles by Numbers is the most electrifying new kind of puzzle to come along in many years. These beguiling puzzles already have millions of devoted fans in Japan, where they were invented years ago. And now Art Puzzles by Numbers has been introduced to the United States where its popularity is growing enormously.
The concept is cleverly simple. You start with an empty grid. The numbers to the side and above tell you how many squares to fill in the columns and rows. The trick is that the numbers don t tell you which squares to fill in that is for you to decide through logical reasoning and by operating back and forth between the columns and the rows.
Unlike the crossword puzzle, when you have finished one of these picture logic puzzles correctly, you ve made a picture!
Complete instructions are included along with 85 puzzles ranging from easy to hard. You will find puzzles of animals, sports, holidays and many, many other things that will peak the curiosity in kids, adults and seniors. No matter who you are or what you do, whether you are young or not so young, this book will give every puzzle fan many gratifying hours of entertainment.
If you like the magic of puzzles combined with the excitement of art, then Art Puzzles By Number is what you ve been looking for. As drawings of animals, holiday icons, sports items and more are produced.
Wow. You re an artist. You ll be thrilled to see an incredible image produced right before your eyes.
Instructions and detailed solving tips are included for beginners, who may want to use a pencil and eraser, just until you get the hang of it. Then when you are more confident, try using a black or colored pen. The picture will take on a whole new expression. And Have Fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars great puzzles, average level of difficulty, May 1, 2003
This review is from: Art Puzzles By Number (Paperback)
Pixel puzzles are very fun and addictive logic puzzles. I can't get enough! They are often considered math puzzles, but as long as you can count, you'll be fine. They don't require any reading, so they're great to do while you're listening to TV or a book on tape. Nonetheless, they really work your brain. They require a logical, step by step approach, and are very satisfying.

I am a true addict. I have tried every book I could find with this type of puzzle. If you don't have any experience with pixel puzzles, this book would be a great place to start. The puzzles start out very easy and get more difficult as you go. The puzzles in this book are more challenging and interesting than the Games Magazine Paint by Numbers book, but not nearly as challenging as Perplexing Pixel Puzzles or Mind Sharpening Pixel Puzzles (the best of the bunch). If I wasn't already spoiled by the two Pixel Puzzle books, I would have easily given this book 5 stars.

The paper quality of this book is much better than the Nonograms book. A sharp pencil won't poke through the page and you can erase easily. The binding fell apart though because the pages don't lie flat. Spiral bound books (like the Pixel Puzzle books)are much better for this type of puzzle. I didn't mind too much though, because I can put a few loose pages in my travel bag for a quick diversion while waiting in the airport. These puzzles always attract the curiosity of flight attendants and other passengers on planes.

If you already know you like this type of puzzle, then I would recommend Mind Sharpening Pixel Puzzles and Perplexing Pixel Puzzles. They are much more challenging and you'll get many, many more hours of solving fun for less money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT PUZZLE BOOK!!!, October 13, 2003
This review is from: Art Puzzles By Number (Paperback)
WOW! WE LOVED these puzzles! We have given them as gifts to family and friends and keep getting asked if there is another puzzle book of this kind in the works! HURRY UP AND PUBLISH ANOTHER ONE, KATHY WEAVER!
I like the fact that you are rewarded with a picture if you do the puzzle correctly. If you get off track you may end up with a three-legged horse, and you have to go back and find your mistake......but that is the fun of it.
The paper is of good quality as evidenced by the fact that we have erased them over and over so we could do them again and again. WONDERFUL BOOK! VERY ADDICTING!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple puzzle fun, August 23, 2005
By 
Vinster (Jersey City, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Art Puzzles By Number (Paperback)
I love these type of puzzles (aka Picross, Paint By Numbers, Nonograms, Griddlers, etc). This collection will please fans of these puzzle types- the paper stock is a good heft (similar to the "Paint By Numbers" release by Games Magazine so you won't be scratching holes though the pages.
The book offers a brief introduction & sample puzzle. From there it's puzzle after puzzle. If you love these puzzles, you can't go wrong with this book.
