200 Rebus Picture Puzzles plus 200 Mondegreens (whatever they are), is now available as a Kindle ebook at Amazon's Kindle Store. Buy it. Read it. Review it. And spread the word. Thank you.

This new rebus book is more fun because you can actually solve the puzzles. Let's face it, puzzles are only fun if you solve them. But most puzzle books ask you to be an expert solver with no training or help. That's like asking you to bench press 400 pounds your first day at the gym.

Instead, this book prepares you for success in two ways. There's a tutorial full of tips and tricks to help you "get the picture" (literally). Even if you skip the tutorial and choose to jump right in (honestly, who ever stops to read the instructions?), each puzzle includes multiple hints. These hints not only increase your chances of success, but also improve your solving ability for the next puzzle. We tested this book with people who had never tried rebus puzzles, and their ability to crack the puzzles grew with each success. Soon they were enjoying the book instead of quitting in frustration.
