Nice package - great puzzles
Classic wire puzzles - all good ones. Nothing unexpected.
Packaged in a reprint of a vintage box (you can still find some originals around - Gilbert Puzzle Parties) so it looks more distressed than it actually is.
Puzzles are not always well affixed to the interior packaging and tend to come loose. It's not designed to hold them after you've taken them out to play - they just rattle around inside a rather large box.
But I love the vintage box and instructions

An excellent and varied collection
The subtitle is perhaps misleading - although this does contain much avant-garde work, there is much that is quite straightforward in this collection - from early film "actualities" to the views of Manhattan, from quasi-documentary "art films" of water & sea to abstract pictures of music (much like the opening Bach sequence of Disney's Fantasia). There is also much genuinely avant-garde work here, including many classics (Ballet Mechanique, etc.). I particularly liked the Slavko Vorkapić montages taken from mainstream movies, showing how surreal imagery entered the mainstream (the Dali dream sequences from Hitchcock's Spellbound would've been a great inclusion for the same reason, but I'm sure the rights were too expensive)
This set functions almost as a history of non-narrative and surreal film in the US. Highly recommended for those that enjoy this sort of thing - one of the better collections out there. Loads of content and usually at a decent price.

Earl Blues, Pre-Blues and Blues-Adjacent - great stuff!
A great collection of early blues and pre-blues tracks - it's a shame the other volumes were never professionally pressed (go to the author's website for more info)
