What’s Hiding Here? By Agnes Busière
#UM3272 Hardcover, 96 pages; 2016 $14.95
Spot the Difference by Catherine Maillet
#UM3112 Hardcover, 96 pages; 2016 $14.95
Test your skills of observation with these clever
puzzle books! Each photo in What’s Hiding
Here? has something tucked in the scene, such
as a real raspberry surrounded by candy fruits
or a pink button nestled among pink rose petals.
Spot the Difference challenges you to find the
item that is wrong or out of place, like a number
missing from a dollar bill or a real flower in
place of a painted one in a mural. Some pages
are easier than others and some are downright challenging, but each
page has a hint (or two!) and the answers are in the back of the book.
What fun for all ages! (SM)

Little Black Classics Set
#UL8862 Boxed set of eighty
paperbacks $125.00
To celebrate the eightieth anniversary
of Penguin Books in 2015, the iconic
UK publisher mined its impressive
catalogue to release eighty volumes
in a new “Little Black Classic” series:
concise (about 60 pages each) chunks
of masterful literature, in a pocket-
sized format (6½"x4½" paperbacks)
sold at a reasonable price (less than $2
a pop). This boxed set collects those
first eighty titles in one 19"x6½" slipcase containing an expansive and varied selection of fiction,
essays, poetry, and maxims, from Boccaccio’s bawdy fourteenth-century tales of Mrs. Rosie and
the Priest (#1) to the ancient Buddhist aphorisms from The Dhammapada (#80). Whether you
revisit a favorite classic from school days like Poe’s chilling The Tell-Tale Heart (#31) or Chaucer’s
comical The Wife of Bath (#28); enjoy a “new” work by a favorite author like Jane Austen, Charles
Dickens, or Emily Brontë; or discover a classic from another culture, you’ll be entertained and
enriched by any selection you choose! The collectible miniature library makes a perfect gift for
students, graduates, commuters, retirees…any serious reader you know. (AG)
