Prima edizione
Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. As New; pristine. See scan. Chicago: Games / Playboy Enterprises, Inc., 1983. The April, 1983 Issue (Issue 28) of The Four-Star Puzzler. Quarto, printed stapled wraps, 16 pp. Pristine in every way (see scan); even the tipped-in subscription card is still in place and immaculate - though you certainly can't use it now. A thin - sixteen pages - but trenchant, memorable and collectible aggregation of puzzles from the masters who brought fame to the puzzles of Games Magazine, among other notable routes of the New Wave puzzling world. In this 28th issue, editors Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon provide crossword variants, an acrostic (anacrostic), quizzes, rebus cartoons, cryptograms, logic, "The Sphinx Page" (riddles and other puzzles in the style of the vintage "patron Saint of Puzzledom" known as "The Sphinx"), and much more from the minds of Denys Parsons, Necah Buyukdura, Henry Hook, Karen L. Hodge, N.M. Meyer, Diana Sessions, Merl Reagle, Max M. Mizer, Robert D. Spurrier, Henry Hook, M.C. Maag, Virginia C. McCarthy, Dodi Schultz, Karen and Bill Feinberg, Richard Silvestri, David Diefendorf, Irvin Roy Hentzel and Ronald K. Smith, Nola Obee, Linda Bosson, Gary Disch, Kenneth Feucht, Mike Shenk, Sally Porter, Dave Greenwald, and of course Cox and Rathvon themselves. Don't lay pen or pencil to these virgin pages; instead, scan them and solve them on the scans. Keep this treasure in your collection, unbesmirched. Scarcer than hen's teeth - in almost any condition. 28th Issue in the brilliant but short-lived series, which ended with the 32nd issue in August, 1983. LPR5.
