This puzzle is a gem and it was a real pleasure to assemble the pieces for me who am not a fan of puzzle ... 1000 pieces, it may be a little easier because it did not last long enough. But overall a lot of fun and the drawing is fantastically realized with all these titles of books that make you dizzy. Colin Thompson the designer, it is first of talent and incredible attention to detail. I'm a fan and I continue to follow for the other puzzles: doors, strange house, and not library.
