Halifax Kakuro

The books

Many people are happy to solve the puzzles online, and that is free and always will be. But we recognize that some puzzle lovers prefer working with pencil and paper — perhaps over morning coffee, or by the fire on a quiet evening. So we decided to make a series of annual puzzle collections in book form.

These beautiful books will look great on any coffee table or bookshelf. They also make a nice gift for a friend. In addition to the standard edition with two puzzles per page, a large-print edition with one puzzle per page is also available.

These books are printed to order by Lulu.com and shipped worldwide.

One book per year
