What started a year ago with a flash of insight&;adding a jigsaw puzzle, Workman&;s first ever, to the new Flow stationery program&;is now a significant business. The world has discovered the joy of slowing down and getting blissfully lost in the mindful activity of piecing together a beautiful image. Now Workman has TK puzzles with over TK copies in print, while the imprints have launched their own successful programs. In addition to a new Flow puzzle (see page TK) and three new Boynton puzzles for kids (see page TK), here are four 1,000-piece titles for adults and families. Publishing our puzzles like books&;building on successful authors and brands&;we&;re announcing: Where the Crawdads Sing, evoking the breathtaking beautiful world of North Carolina&;s outer banks, a landscape integral to the 7-million copy bestlling novel. 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, scratching that travel itch with a collage of images, like postcards, from some of the more photogenic destinations in the iconic travel bestseller. And two titles adapted from the lovingly illustrated gift books that captures their readers true passions: More Plants = More Happiness, with its image of a dream plant shop for the crazy plant lady, and Book Nerd, with its shelves overflowing for that person who has never one say &;the movie that better than the book.&; And finally, a puzzle with a real twist: from Pipsticks + Workman, a puzzle of favorite stickers in a stunning mandala-like design&;and a sheet of those very same stickers in the box. And, on the back of the cover sheet, directions for how to design your own stickers. Each is a 1,000-piece puzzle and cut on a new die that makes them especially satisfying to complete. |
