Undated but an inked inscription on the endpaper and the decoration on the cover would suggest 1919.
Size: 17 x 10.5 cms or 6 3/4 x 4 1/8 inches.
Page number: 50.
Hardcover: Chestnut coloured paper cover with black decoration and lettering.
25 puzzles each with a cover sheet that hides the amusing reveal beneath. Innocuous questions are asked on the top sheet that, once completed and once the sheet below is exposed, make for humorous reading.
Condition: Very Good. The cover is slightly worn, most particularly on the back close to the spine. The pages within are lightly tanned. Two staples have left rusty marks on one page. The book has been almost entirely filled in. This at various periods in time but mainly in 1919. One page has been filled in in 1981. It names Maggie Thatcher. The edges of the pages have been torn open in order to play the game so some are a little ragged. The pages are, but for small marks, clean and unthumbed. There is a bookseller's sticker on the last endpaper. The book was purchased at Eveleigh Bishop in Leeds.
