Pocket Puzzle Book

120 pages of crosswords and word searches

Proves the small-trim layout: a 5×8 page is narrow, so the grid is sized to the margin box and the clues sit under it in two columns — the layout that most puzzle books get wrong.

These samples are typeset by hand with the same layout engine the builder uses (margins, bleed, spine, cover wrap). They are not AI-generated customer books — the builder is still being built — and the interior PDF is a short excerpt, not the full 120-page book.
