[arg_discuss] Useful puzzle books?

[Mark Heggen]

While it is certainly valid to ask for suggestions on good puzzle books, I
hope this is more of a side question than anything related to developing
ARGs. Do you really think that what ARGs really need right now are more
recycled puzzles tacked over the top of a narrative? Morbus, I'm not trying
to give you a hard time or make assumptions about what you (or anyone else)
is going to do with books of puzzles, but it scares me to think of more
Mensa-style puzzles getting attached to ARGs. That territory seems so
amazingly tired.
