A strange little side quest
The fun part of looking behind Cute Girl Jigsaw Puzzles is seeing how many older ideas are still alive in modern play. The first crossword puzzle book appeared in 1924 in a cautious initial printing of 3,600 copies, complete with a free pencil. That is only half the story. Reader Rabbit's 1986 arrival was part of a major expansion of educational computer software before the CD-ROM boom of the 1990s. That gives Cute Girl Jigsaw Puzzles a little more company than it first appears to have.
