Book Covers Puzzle

 


Bestsellers. 1000 piece puzzle but looks pretty easy because of the subject. You can pick pieces out because of the font. Panoramic puzzle is 39 inches wide. Table width is 41.5 inches. Got it with a Barnes and Noble gift card. They had a lot of puzzles but I couldn't find any I liked and I also went to Michaels and Wal-mart.

Old Martha's Vineyard

 


1000 piece puzzle I just started. Got a better lamp to clamp on the bookshelves rather than use the overhead ceiling fan light.
