Description: Be sure to check out all of our other Hardcovers, Graphic Novels, TPB's, Comics & Manga, and much more in our eBay shop!! Games & Puzzles was a magazine about games and puzzles. The magazine was first published in May 1972 by Edu-Games (UK) Ltd. The first editor was Graeme Levin who recruited a variety of games and puzzles experts as writers and consultant editors including Darryl Francis, David Parlett, David Pritchard, Don Turnbull, Eric Solomon, Gyles Brandreth, Nick Palmer, R. C. Bell, Richard Sharp, Sid Sackson and Tony Buzan. This gave it a good reputation; for example, Popular Computing wrote "Quite simply, Games & Puzzles Magazine is unique. There is no other publication quite like it anywhere in the world." It was headquartered out of London. This is RARE piece of Magazine, Literature, and Puzzle/Activity book history! It is in Excellent Condition for being almost 50 years old!! It does have some very minor handling wear. The cover has some light marking from where the original store wrote in pen on the cover lightly the price for the book ($1.50), which was a very common thing for shops to do back in the 70's. However! There are no markings or writing, of any sort on the interior. I checked each page individually and none of the interior puzzles or activities have been done and there are no pages missing! Even the original "Tear away insert" for ordering a subscription is still left fully intact! This is an awesome piece of history and a wonderful gift for anyone wanting to go on a trip down memory lane, or get a small glimpse and hop back to the good ol' 70's again with some higher level puzzles and activities! This is not a children's level activity book. This is defintely for Adults and possibly Young Adults. There are geometric puzzles and intricately designed activities.

Please review the following sections for a more detailed layout of what to expect both from this product, us as a seller, as well as more about the shipping process. About Us: I am an owner of a physical Brick & Mortar Comic Shop. I've been a long time collector of many hobbies. This eBay Store will be used to sell items from my personal collection. Many of these items will be Unopened or Brand New, seeing as I tend to over purchase and buy far more items than I can read. I care deeply not only about customer service, but about collectors and the collectibles world. I take major pride in being a source for selling items to this community, I care for all of these items as if they were my own both before and after deciding to sell them. I also make sure to ship all items the way I would hope to receive them if I was on the other end ordering them. We've all been burned at least once when purchasing literally anything on the internet and I hope I can take a small part in reigniting your hope and trust in online sellers. There will always be bad apples in any industry that money is involved in. However there are definitely still many of us respectful and quality sellers out here as well. Condition: For the majority of our comics (released from 2020-Now) all issues will be in VF/NM or better, unless otherwise stated. For older books please use photos for condition details. We by no means are professional graders but we will mention any major flaws if there are any. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in your purchase! So please review and inspect all photos for full condition details. Shipping: We always ship our floppy comics, and any other books that fit in Gemini mailers! If its a larger book or set of comics that won't fit in a Gemini Mailer we always pack our products with the utmost care and protection to make sure your purchase arrives in the condition it was sold at! We take Shipping very seriously and do our best to make sure all items are shipped as safe and securely as we can so that your purchase(s) arrive safely. Combined Shipping: We love when our customers are able to find multiple items in our store that they would like to own, so we definitely offer a Combined Shipping option on all similar/like items purchased. To receive a corrected invoice with a new Combined Shipping cost please just send an offer of $.02 off the asking price for each item and then in the notes section just mention - Combined Shipping request. And we will accept all offers and send a revised invoice to you. If payments are made prior to us getting a chance to edit the shipping cost, just reach out to us prior to the item actually shipping and we can send you a refund for the difference. If you don't reach out prior to the item being shipped we will unfortunately be unable to send any refunds. For comics, graphic novels, books, magazines, or any other paper/reading items the standard combined rate would be as follows: The Base Charge will be the shipping price of the highest shipping cost item. For any additional comics, magazines, "light weight floppy" just adds $1.00 per item. For additional TPB's, Graphic Novels, Hardcovers, any "heavy weight book" adds just $2.50. If you have multiple items from different categories or types just message us and let us know all the items you're interested in and we can build out a Combined shipping cost individually to meet your needs! Also if you are purchasing some items with a mix of shipping speeds (Media Mail, First Class/Ground Advantage, Priority, etc.) we will address those on a case by case basis but typically it ends up bumping all slower option items up to priority and pricing will be for the fastest shipping option of the selected items. If you have questions about the combined shipping options prior to purchasing please don't hesitate to reach out and ask! We're happy to help and answer any questions. Questions?: Please feel free to message us with any questions you may have and we will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible! We are here and happy to help!
