Scoular Anderson
1994-1998
Intricate and puzzling search-and-finds
Walker books both created series of it's own, and also implemented classics into it's collection and delivered them in various forms. For these, Walker bundled them under 'Gamebooks', but of different varieties - "Search-and-Find", "Solve-it-yourself", "Which Way?" etc.
Beyond the themes of gamebooks, each book was also given a a skill level - 1, 2 or 3 - obviously suiting each publication to different age groups.
Some highlights of this series includes the Scoular Anderson, Patrick Burston, Phillipe Dupasquier and Marjorie Newman contributions, all fantastically illustrated, and with intrested challenges to the reader.
