Terry and I go back a few years. We're both in the puzzle biz. Terry never ceases to amaze me with his ability to produce book after book of ingenious, visual and rewarding puzzles. They're like taking a Mensa test ... only a whole lot more fun. And to borrow from a popular potato chip slogan, "you can't solve just one!" So if you order this volume, and I hope you do, don't schedule anything important for the day it arrives in the mail.

I gave this book to my husband as a Christmas stocking stuffer and he loved it! There aren't many books out there like this one, so to find so many clever frame games all in one place was a delight. If you or someone you know likes "brain games" this book will definitely stretch the mind!

This is the cutest book cover. I always play "Frame Games" in the weekly Sunday paper in the USA Today. I enjoyed it so much, I researched where to find a book of these wonderful games. I actually sent an email to Terry Stickels and got a response a few hours later, referring me to Amazon.com to find his book. I love this book. The book is shaped and looks like a toilet seat. How clever it is. I ordered two books, one to give away and I placed the other one in the guest bathroom. What a conversation piece this is. I love this book and the frame games inside. I visit Terry Stickels web site often. I will probably purchase more of these cute books to give away as gifts in the future.

The book was just ok.. I wish I had seen it in a book store first... I might not have purchased it.I enjoy the frame games in the week-end news paper inserts and was a little dispointed.I didn't like the odd shape of the book or the way it was set up, with the puzzles and answers. I found the puzzles weren't of the same caliber as those I enjoy weekly.

I just love these puzzles.

Terry Stickels Frame Games have been featured in various newspapers and now 159 are gathered in one place in this volume.

Shaped like a toilet seat (with the back depicting swirling water, presumably after a flush!), this 96-page book is a great way to challenge the mind and pass the time. Its convenient size lends itself nicely for portability--especially in larger purses, briefcases, and diaper bags!

"Frame Games" are pictorial word puzzles. For example, one puzzle features a series of horizontal lines. In bold, the letters NME are at the fore. The answer? "Behind enemy lines".

Some puzzles are pretty easy, but others are real stumpers! There's a few I haven't gotten yet, in fact.

Rather than read this book all the way through, I pick it up every once in awhile just to solve a few puzzles. For example, earlier this evening I was sitting on the porch with my husband and we were trying to figure out some of the frame games.

The answers are on consecutive pages in case you're tempted to peek. I actually wish they were all in the back because it's possible to accidentally see the answers to previous puzzles you may not have solved yet if your eye roams towards the center of the book!

Sit & Solve Frame Games is great fun and would make an exceptional gift or stocking-stuffer for hard-to-buy-for folks who tend to enjoy puzzles.

And hey! you just can't beat the affordability for this much amusement, either.

I picked up this book before going on vacation this summer. It provided hours of fun in the car, around guests' dinner tables, and for my son and his friends at camp. The puzzles range from easy to challenging. I even gave copies as hostess gifts and for a friend undergoing chemotherapy. I will definitely think about this fun and unusual puzzle book for stocking stuffers this holiday season.
