Some new books were added and a cleanup of outdated stuff was made. Email addresses now appear as images so you will have to enter them manually. Thank the spammers for this minor inconvenience. The commercial and non-commercial links pages were removed. There are just too many to keep up with and treat everyone fairly. Google or Yahoo are your best bet for finding other puzzle sites. Look for bigger changes soon. I have a lot of nice puzzles to add!
