can someone give me a little hint as to what to do with the answers to fill in the grid? I've tried a few things, but not got far with any of them. Is it connected in any way with the hidden word in the outer pages that is mentioned in the small print?

As usual, I'm stuck again. I'm just about certain I have completed the grid correctly but "another piece of information in the catalogue" eludes me. Hmm.

I'll keep staring for a while longer I think. I'ts never done me any good in the past though has it? :D :D

Not too sure about the other piece of information (I haven't found it yet) - I didn't need it to get the final answer

I have absolutely no idea how to get any answers into the grid. Please could I have a nudge?

Have you looked up any of the answers you have? (The answer to "Baroquen" would be a good one to start with.)

All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

I'm at a stage where I've completed the grid, but don't know what to do with the answers to actually find the missing artist. I've tried all sorts of shifts, but not got anywhere really. Any ideas anyone?

I've reached the point Laura reached in the above post. The grid is complete, but though I'm sure I've got the correct information to enable the next step, I'm not sure how to actually apply it.

sitting here without a magazine and no printer I'm embarrassed to say I haven't worked this one out. I got side tracked on something else. Now did I just see a hint above from Scurra? I have all the puzzles, now what to do with them in the grid? Keep plugging away until book 2 shows up I suppose.

Edit--that was a big hint Scurra. :lol: Thank you. Not that it does any good solving the final step.

Well I finally did this one - with mega amounts of help from LAT.

The 'twist' in this one made me smile - I liked it :D
