Indiana University's Lilly Library will be home to the world's largest collection of mechanical puzzles, library officials announced today (July 19). Highly regarded for its variety and scope, the collection includes items dating from the eighteenth century. Puzzle enthusiast and author Jerry Slocum has announced his intention to donate his prized collection of more than 30,000 puzzles and nearly 4,000 puzzle-related books to the Lilly Library. Beginning Aug. 3, approximately 400 of the puzzles will be on display in a refurbished exhibition space named in Slocum's honor.
