From the FAQ:
Jigsaw puzzles.

In 1995 jigsaw puzzles became available, featuring Josh Kirby
Discworld drawings. These have all gone out of print, and are
no longer being made, so any that turn up are likely to be
pretty valuable.

However, in early 2000 Gibsons produced two new Discworld jigsaws
in conjunction with Colin Smythe. These feature the full prints of
Josh Kirby's "Carpe Jugulum" and "Maskerade", and are puzzles of
1,000 pieces.


Does anyone know what make/brand the 1995 puzzles were ?

My 1,000 piece puzzle came from Spear's Games. Didn't know about the
500 piece ones.

There are two new ones now (making four) also but it is information on the
early puzzles I need.

I was talking about a 1995 one (Soul Music). I have two others but these
were made by Gibson's Games and are still available.
