Maphead (2011)

Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011

Ken Jennings, best known for his epic winning streak on Jeopardy! in 2004, returns to the writing world with Maphead, a charming, funny, and of course, informational book about the world of maps and the people who love them. Even if maps are not your thing, Jennings writes about them with such affection and humor that the topic becomes fascinating; the clever captions for the maps in the book alone are worth the read.

With nearly 200 puzzles to solve, this humorous book offers drivers, car passengers, armchair travelers, and puzzle enthusiasts ample opportunities to sharpen word skills while having fun at the same time. Merging the popular pastime of puzzle solving with a unique form of personal expression—the vanity plate—this book includes many innovative brainteasers that will challenge and entertain puzzle-lovers, such as ISHLPKDS (I schlep kids), UEEEEA (Euphoria), AUYLOCKS (Goldilocks), and HIOFSIR (Hi Officer).
