We know how to find a headache. Look for an author who has just finished a manuscript and wonders where he will find great material for his next book.
Is there a cure for this headache? Absolutely. Fast relief is at hand
if
he receives letters and postcards full of new Imponderables, answers to Frustables, and scintillating letters of comment.
Of course, any headache cure is worthy of compensation. If you are the first to pose an Imponderable we publish in our next edition or present the best solution to one of our ten new Frustables, you’ll receive a complimentary copy, along with an acknowledgment in the book.
And if you send a self-addressed stamped envelope, we’ll send a personal reply (although it might take longer to respond than we’d like). The SASE is necessary only if you want a reply—all correspondence is welcome.
Just mail your remedy to what ails us, along with your name, address, and (optional) phone number to:
