When I was a kid in the 70's, I was an avid solver of a series of mazes published in books by an author with a Russian name (I remember it as Vladimir something). They were the kind of paperback books sold in the games section of bookstores, that you were supposed to write in like you do with crossword puzzle books. The mazes were simple, black-and-white, in a variety of shapes, and not gimmicky, just quite challenging (they were intended for grownups, not kids). Does anyone remember these books and can help me find them again?

Is there any difference between a maze and a labarynth or are the two terms synonymous?

A while back I was looking into Eisner Award winning (Talent deserving of wider recognition) Comic Book artist Jason Shiga's site, and I came across the following quote:

"This comic was inspired by the maze-maker/mathematian, Greg Bright. At the age of 23 he had dug a 5 acre human labyrinth by himself. But he is probably most well known for what Guiness has deemed the World's most complex maze. For the past 10 years he's been working on a maze book like no other...pathways would wind through various holes die cut into each page. Last I heard, his project was approaching 1,000 pages."

I want to find out more about this book. More inside... [more inside]
