Publisher's Synopsis

What's more fun than a crossword puzzle and more addictive than Sudoku? It's Kakuro of course-the latest puzzle craze to sweep the nation. Puzzle Master Timothy E. Parker, known in the Guinness Book of World Records as "the world's most syndicated puzzle compiler," offers 150 brand new puzzles to tickle your brain and transform you from a number-stumbling novice into Kakuro Master. 

Easy, Medium, and Hard puzzles 
Five extra-large Bonus Puzzles
Rules, Tips and Strategies
A list of "unique sums" which are the key to unlocking the logic of Kakuro
A "Complete Sum Chart" listing every possible answer (Kakuro's answer to the crossword puzzle dictionary)

How to Play: Kakuro is a crossword with numbers that serve as the clues. The numbers you are given in the black cells represent the sum of that row or column. The goal is to enter digits 1-9 in the white cells to add up to the number stated. You cannot enter any number more than once. 

Warning: Kakuro may cause you to forget reality, lose all sense of time, miss your bus stop, and wear out all erasers in a three mile radius. Use with caution!

About the Publisher

Plume

Plume was founded in 1970 as the trade paperback imprint of New American Library. In its early history, Plume focused primarily on nonfiction titles, publishing approximately 35 titles per year. In the early 1980s, as trade paperbacks were rapidly becoming the format of choice among a large segment of book buyers, Plume began expanding its reach, and became recognized as one of the pre-eminent trade paperback imprints. The 1980's saw Plume make its mark with a number of major bestsellers, including Toni Morrison's Tar Baby, Erica Jong's Fanny, Russell Baker's Growing Up, and Gloria Steinem's Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions, among others. Now, in 2014, Plume is publishing 85 to 100 titles a year, and its backlist currently encompasses approximately 700 titles.
