Jigsaw Puzzles: An Illustrated History and Price Guide, by Anne D. Williams. Photographs by Harry L. Rinker. Pub. 1990, by Wallace-Homestead Book Company, a division of Chilton Book Company. This is the seminal work on jigsaw puzzles, especially for the United States. It is indispensable for the collector but out of print, unfortunately. It is available occasionally on internet auction sites (bidding is usually brisk!), and we are always looking for copies which we can make available to those who cannot find them elsewhere.
