I loved this puzzle! The pieces were larger than average, especially for a 1,000 piece, so there wasn't any squinting to see what was on each piece. There is a lot going on in the picture, so it was fairly easy to tell which part of the puzzle each piece went to. The variety also kept the puzzle interesting (can you find the head in the jar?!). It was a fun puzzle to do and I highly recommend it!

I bought 5 or 6 puzzles from Amazon in the last month, all more expensive than I would normally pay, completed 4 of them, and so far this one is the one I enjoyed most and felt was a better quality puzzle and worth the price. This one by White Mountain Puzzles and artist Lorie Schory was so well made, interesting, and great fun to work that I took note of both the puzzle manufacturer and the artist and kept notes so that I could try to get more of this series. This is certainly a "feel good" puzzle that will bring a smile to your face as you go along!

The puzzle has slightly larger "fully interlocking pieces", ( which I much prefer to odd shaped pieces ) and is of nice heavy weight stock, presenting a snug fit. There is a clear variance and individuality in the puzzle die cut pieces, along with the great array of colors, to keep you from mixing up where a piece goes, which I have found I hate about some other puzzles with pieces that are easily "tradeable" by mistake. Besides being made so well, this puzzle is chock full of amusing things one might see at a really huge yard sale. Lots of funny, colorful, and bright or nostalgic 50's 60's things can be seen, as well as memorabilia of many other eras, lively junk a big family would collect over the years if they were all a little bit of a packrat!

My opinion is that if you catch yourself working a jigsaw puzzle and leaving it partly assembled for a week or more on a table, only going back once in awhile to add 20 or so pieces, then the puzzle isn't worth what you paid for it. Whether it's just either incredibly boring, dull looking, or too lame and easy, or too annoyingly impossible due to crazy shaped pointy pieces that don't really fit well, or a field of green grass all the same shade and a mile of blue blue sky......... then phooey on it!

But this isn't any of those things. This puzzle is the kind that makes you not want to go to bed at one a.m. even though you have to work the next day, because you want to work some more of it!!

A simply wonderful "medium" ( difficulty level ) puzzle for adults of any age, or even teens, and I recommend it highly. Hoping to find more White Mountain/Lorie Schory puzzles to look forward to working!

When my wife and I were dating, we used to do puzzles together. Now that we have kids, we wanted to try to do that again - just a little each night after the kids have gone to bed.

We are not the types who love crazy hard puzzles. Just give us something fun and entertaining, and sort of possible to eventually figure out what goes where, and we're happy. This puzzle fits the bill. Solid construction, not too easy, not too hard. And the image is fun and whimsical. And even a little sexy too.

And we now happily do a little of our puzzle every night. :)

My brother and I do a lot of puzzles when we go on vacation. We're always looking for new and visually interesting puzzles to do - and we like good quality puzzles. When I saw this, it fit the bill.

The puzzle quality is very good. The pieces are well cut and the colors are vibrant.

Turned out that the puzzle was harder to do than I was expecting - in a good way. Still very doable, but it requires a bit of perseverance.

I recommend it. It's one of the more memorable ones we've done.

Totally Confusing for ANyone New to Cards, April 21, 2009

a viewer "a viewer" (antioch, tn United States) -

This review is from: Card Games For Dummies (Paperback)

I wasted big money on this book. The author doesn't bother to explain (in simple terms) ANYTHING!!

I can't add to the other 0ne-star reviews here....both of them nailed it on the head.

If you are new to cards and want to learn....get another book...browse..find anything but this.....you're just going to get confused and frustrated........

Most frustrating & least helpful book I've ever read on any subject, ever., March 24, 2009

Cousin Hepcat -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Card Games For Dummies (Paperback)

This is the most frustrating & least helpful book I've ever read on any subject, ever.

I've read & understood texts on everything from software engineering, to military strategy, to electromechanics and audio circuitry design and repair, to wood furniture refinishing, to home repair - but this book is a total failure.

The reason: It is TOTALLY written for PEOPLE WHO ALREADY KNOW all the "slick cardshark jargon". THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR PEOPLE NEW TO CARD GAMES. If you don't ALREADY KNOW HOW TO PLAY, this book won't even TRY to teach you!

Basically, Amazon user Gadgester's review is dead-on: I'll repeat his opening and closing statements, cause I can't say it any better:

"Simply put, this is absolutely one of the worst instructional books I've read. If you know nothing (or next to nothing) about card games -- like I still don't after reading this book twice -- avoid this very confusing book. ... I haven't read a book as frustrating as this one in a long time. I highly recommend you stay away from it. "

An overall look at some great games, May 20, 2000

Joseph Dewey (Orem, UT USA) -

This review is from: Card Games for Dummies (Paperback)

This book has some fun games! It has popular games like Hearts, Rummy, and Cribbage. It also has games that I have always wanted to learn how to play, like Euchre and Canasta. In all, the book discusses over twenty games.

The layout of the book is a discussion about games. Even if you have felt confused before in reading through card game rules, this book is an excellent introduction to playing card games. It goes over everything that happens in the game, from the rules, to strategy and tips, to history of the game-a fascinating book.

Because it goes in-depth into each of the games, you will not find one place in the chapter that has a concise list of the rules. The rules are scattered throughout the discussion of the chapter. I found it useful to check a book of rules from the library to read along with this book.
