I am considering publishing a dead-tree book of PBNs of landmarks like this one. I've actually designed some 30 unpublished puzzles of a variety of sizes, all B&W, all solvable with either line logic alone or with some edge logic. Do you, the community, think there would be interest in such a book?#3: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Nov 17, 2017 [SPOILER]
I think it is an awesome idea, but with the growing availability of computerized options, I recommend you do research to see if there is a decline in popularity of printed puzzles. The only opinion I can give is my own, and I simply prefer digital puzzles over print. (Computers have an undo button.)#4: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Nov 17, 2017
I do not want to discourage a good idea, though, so hopefully others give you feedback you can work with as well.
As for this current puzzle, well, it was very good. I always enjoy a punny title - I thought it would have something to do with ravens - and the tower is very pretty. I would very much like to see your other landmark puzzles, on this site or otherwise. Whatever you decide to do with them.
Very enjoyable solve. Thank you for your creative effort!#5: Teresa K (fasstar) on Nov 17, 2017
This is an awesome puzzle, Robyn.#6: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Nov 18, 2017
Your puzzles are first rate, so I think you should go for it. I can't solve these on paper anymore, but I'll bet a lot of people would enjoy yours.
Great title too.
Great, great puzzle. Wonderful perspective. I Have no idea what the market for the printed puzzle is. I, for one, haven't bought a book in years, but at one time bought almost every book I could find. Then I found this site. I suspect there are others like me. But I would think it a really nice treat to see more of your puzzles here.#7: Michael A Rodgers (marodgers) on Nov 18, 2017
Are you kidding me! The first 94% of the puzzle can be solved using line logic but it takes edge logic for the last 5.7%? It's supposed to be the other way around.#8: Susan Duncan (medic25733) on Nov 19, 2017
This is a wonderful puzzle! I tried doing a puzzle on paper not that long ago and gave up because I lost count. We have gotten pretty spoiled with the computer versions. You do make pretty awesome puzzles.#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Nov 20, 2017
Marvelous!#10: Gator (gator) on Dec 1, 2017 [HINT]

Fantastic puzzle. I love the use of shadow in the image to define it. Very architectural! Image is first rate, and not surprising it came up when I searched best hard puzzles. Well deserved. Wonderful#12: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 4, 2018
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.#13: Gator (gator) on Dec 4, 2018 [HINT]

I was able to solve using line logic only. I'm sure there is a market for a book, but I would guess that WebPBN users might not be your target market, since we are all used to solving online. If you publish a book, please let us all know!#15: Velma Warren (Shiro) on Jan 18, 2020
What an awesome image! The birds especially are wonderful. I really like the variation. I did have to guess once right at the end.#16: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Aug 27, 2020
Solved it exactly the same as gator. Definitely not LL solvable, but wonderful solve!#17: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Sep 24, 2020 [SPOILER]
Quite fun. No guessing. I see a wonderful castle and birds, but did not identify it as the tower of London. Great image.#18: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Jan 20, 2023
No guessing. interesting.
