As New; pristine. See scan. Chicago: Games / Playboy Enterprises, Inc., 1982. The May, 1982 Issue (Issue 17) of The Four-Star Puzzler. Quarto, printed stapled wraps, 16 pp. Pristine in every way (see scan); even the tipped-in subscription card is still in place and immaculate - though you certainly can't use it now. A thin - sixteen pages - but trenchant, memorable and collectible aggregation of puzzles from the masters who brought fame to the puzzles of Games Magazine, among other notable routes of the New Wave puzzling world. In this 17th issue, editors Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon provide crossword variants, an acrostic (anacrostic), a chess problem, rebus cartoons, cryptograms, palindromes, "The Sphinx Page" (riddles and other puzzles in the style of the vintage "patron Saint of Puzzledom" known as "The Sphinx", now contributed by others), a quiz, a detective mystery, and much more from the minds of Will Shortz, Robert Gray, Lynn Marie Hyde, Billie Budd, Leo Bloom, Mike Shenk, Judah Koolyk, Mel Taub, Robert D. Spurrier, N.M. Meyer, Henry Hook, Steve Sterner, Carolyn Van Syckel, Robert E. Nelson, Paul R. McClenon, Rob Sayers, Ann Stone, Robert L. Liddill, Linda Bosson, Gary Disch, Sally Porter , and of course Cox and Rathvon themselves. Don't lay pen or pencil to these virgin pages; instead, scan them and solve them on the scans. Keep this treasure in your collection, unbesmirched. Scarcer than hen's teeth - in any condition. This example is As New. 17th Issue in the brilliant but short-lived series, which ended with the 32nd issue in August, 1983. LPR5.
