  • Spot the Author

    Simon Drew

    Hardcover (Antique Collectors Club, Jan. 25, 2003)
    This is another of Simon Drew's books of uninterrupted nonsense. Some people are infuriated by the puzzle pictures and some people love them. However this last category has yet to be found in the wild, as only a few specimens are known and they are all in captivity. It had been hoped that all the devotees of these books would die out and the species become extinct: however, a mutant strain has appeared and is spreading through the world like a virus. Following on from the enormous success of Spot the Book Title , Simon Drew has turned his attention to authors. Spot the Author is packed full of mind boggling puzzles and nonsensical word games that are guaranteed to to goad your mind in to a series of highly complicated mental gymnastics.
