If You Could Have Dinner With van Gogh

Hi Premium Puzzlers,

This one is a treat. We have just brought in a range we have wanted on the shelves for a long time, the Thames & Hudson art and literary puzzles. These are not wallpaper. Every title is a piece of design in its own right, built around real art, real books and real places.

A little history, because this one has a good story. Thames & Hudson was founded in London in 1949 by Walter and Eva Neurath, who named it after two rivers, the Thames and the Hudson, to signal it would publish for both sides of the Atlantic. Their whole idea was a museum without walls, bringing great art to ordinary people at a price they could actually afford. Seventy-five years on, these puzzles are exactly that. Real art, in your hands, on your table.

I am only bringing in a few of each to start. I want to see which titles you fall for before I go deeper, so if something catches your eye, do not wait around.

The Dinner Date series

Let me show you the ones we could not stop looking at, starting with the series that made me smile, the Dinner Date puzzles. If you could share a meal with any artist, who would it be? Dinner with van Gogh, Dinner with Monet and Dinner with Frida are all in, at $34.99 each.

Two more things. Reviews are now live across the site, so you can see what fellow puzzlers think before you buy. And we have launched a loyalty card: collect 10 puzzles and your next one is free.
