Review Copy: “The University of Tokyo Matsumaru-Style Puzzle-Solving School”

Thank you for the review copy!

We had the opportunity to interview him previously, and Mr. Matsumaru—who has said that ever since elementary school, he’s been more interested in creating puzzle problems than solving them—describes this as “the ideal puzzle book I’ve always wanted to create.”

It looks like it’s packed with puzzles that even adults will struggle with—and that kids in the lower grades of elementary school can enjoy—so I hope you’ll all give it a try.
