The Master Revealed - A Journey with Tangrams

The Master Revealed - A Journey with Tangrams (first printing 1990, black and white - 128 pages) with over 475 original puzzle designs and solutions This book is the story of Tan ... Dear eader,      Have you ever seen a tangram Santa? A tangram penguin? How about a frantic swimmer being pursued by hungry sharks? And if you were my nephew, Will, wouldn't you want to get somewhere fast on either a space shuttle or a rocket? And how is it that after fifteen minutes of moving the seven pieces for the first time, a beginner can create the design, "The Kiss"? And would you believe me if I told you that you can take the graceful tangram swan and add more swans and create a new "Escher-like" design?      The story of my adventures with tangrams follows. You will find my notebook of designs at the end of the story. I would be honored to have you recreate my puzzle silhouettes. I hope that you will also start your own notebook of designs. Sincerely,
