Hi Ben,
I have used two excellent resource books for puzzles. They both offer
great reading and many different plans for all types of puzzles that
you can make yourself; moving-piece puzzles, dissection puzzles,
matchstick, construction/packing, string, wire, ring/string/ball
puzzles, solitaire and shunting puzzles. Wonderful Fun!
