Puzzles Worth A Thousand Words

There is much more to the new

Written Images

TM

jigsaw puzzle collection than

meets the eye. From afar, these richly colored images are unmistakably beautiful. Look
more closely and you'll discover their clever twist - the
images are not photographic nor are they painted - they
are composed entirely of words! Never before has the
famous quote, "One Picture is Worth a Thousand
Words" been more true than with these new puzzles.

The

Statue of Liberty

is resolved from the

words of the entire US Constitution. A

Creation

image

is formed by the Book of Genesis. And a stunning

Timberwolf

is comprised of a poignant essay by

famous naturalist Henry David Thoreau.

This unique art form was created by father and

son team Don Scott Sr. & Jr., and is a mix of creative
artistry and digital mastering. As with all puzzles in the
Signature 1000

series, Written Images

TM

are printed on

select linen paper and cut from the thickest premium
green board. All are shipping now!

Recession
busting
Puzzles and
Games

A refrain we heard hundreds of
times at the January Gift shows
was "Last year was very tough, but
we did very well with Buffalo
Games." It's no surprise, as we've
seen record breaking sales for an
incredible 15 months in a row.

Are consumers today travelling
more? Are they recklessly
spending entertainment dollars?
Quite the contrary - people are
spending more time at home with
family and friends, and looking for
recreational value in uncertain
economic times.

The perfect fit? Puzzles and
Games. How else can you spend
$15 and get more than 20 hours
of family fun?

"Not Just for 4th
Quarter Anymore"

We've added countless retailers to
our fold in the last 2 years who
had never before carried puzzles
or games. They're finding out
very quickly that there is no wrong
time to capitalize on the trend.

So why not start with a small
assortment today? If sales are
slow, try some products that are
actually moving!
