Publisher's Synopsis

Hanjie (pronounced Han-JEA to rhyme with ninja) is the massively popular Japanese puzzle craze. Number clues and simple logic lead you to fill in some boxes while leaving others blank. If you fill in the boxes correctly, a picture will emerge! This game is perfect for anyone addicted to Sudoku and looking for a new challenge.

Puzzle master Timothy E. Parker, named by Guinness World Records as "the world's most syndicated puzzle compiler," provides instructions and 100 mind-bending puzzles ranging from easy to medium to hard. The harder the puzzle, the more subtle and beautiful the resulting picture will be.

How to Play: The numbers tell you the sequence of black squares you must fill in. Each group of black squares is separated by at least one white (empty) square. Successfully completing the puzzle will reveal a surprising picture.

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.
