Puzzle History:
I recommend anything written by Anne D. Williams on the subject of jigsaw puzzle history and collection. Her books include:
Jigsaw Puzzles: Piecing Together A History, Berkeley Books, 2004.
Jigsaw Puzzles: An Illustrated History and Price Guide, Wallace-Holmstead, 1990.
Bob Armstrong's Old Puzzles WebsiteThis is a great place to read about the earliest uses of specific wooden puzzle cutting techniques. This webpage is a reprint of an article he published elsewhere. Pictures accompany the text. The other pages of his site are equally fascinating.
Other Makers of Hand-Cut Wooden Puzzles:
Richard Ballhagen's Wooden Jigsaw Puzzles
Jack in the Box Puzzles
