Puzzle books by Jim Bumgardner

Kaleidoscope Logic Puzzles (Summer 2024, Puzzlewright Press) is my first variety slitherlink book, and my most beautiful book to-date. It is spiral-bound, and contains 124 puzzles, including both classic and variety Slitherlink puzzles. These lovely puzles include several unique full-page tessellations that I have not published elsewhere. If you are new to Slitherlink, you'll appreciate the tutorials which cover both classic and non-square-grid Slitherlink puzzles.

This book should be available at your local Barnes & Noble, as well as online.

From the publisher:

Is this a book of logic puzzles or a coloring book? Why not both? The intricate, visually appealing puzzles in this book are based on slitherlink: a sudoku-like puzzle that involves drawing lines on a grid of dots to form one big loop. Standard slitherlink puzzles are solved on a square grid, with each clue indicating how many sides of the surrounding square have lines drawn on them. This book, however, features elaborate tiled grids with triangles, hexagons, octagons, and more, allowing for endless variations from page to page. The gorgeous kaleidoscopic designs can be colored before, after, or even during solving. Mind-bending as the puzzles may seem, a warm-up section of standard slitherlink followed by easy kaleidoscope puzzles (plus help from a detailed tutorial) will offer a welcoming experience for all levels of solver.

It is also sprinkled throughout with some lovely and original pen-and-ink illustrations of hedgehogs solving puzzles in cosy breakfast nooks..

Sudoku Emergency Kit features X, Hyper, Consectuve, and Jigsaw Sudoku.

Where did I put my Sudoku Book? features X, Hyper, Greater-than, and Jigsaw Sudoku.

Gluten-free Sudoku features X, Even-Odd, Consecutive, and Jigsaw Sudoku.

I also publish a LARGE PRINT version of both of these books, with just one puzzle per page, which have 108 puzzles.

Tough Kakuro (also in 3 volumes) features similarly large puzzles that are especially difficult to solve.

I have a single volume of small 6x6 Kakuro (300 puzzles in one book).

Finally, my Krypto Kakuro book is for fans of my original twist on Kakuro that uses encrypted clues, similar to cryptograms.

Each volume contains 216 puzzles, two-per-page and there are a wide variety of fleet formations (numbers of ships) to keep things interesting.

My Easy and Challenging Suguru books both feature smaller puzzles, 4 puzzles-per-page, 300 puzzles in all.

My Stupendous Suguru books feature significantly larger puzzles printed one to a page, 108 puzzles in all.
