About Elmbrook Press
A small press for people who enjoy puzzles
Elmbrook Press is a small, independent publisher of puzzle books for adults and seniors. Our collection includes large print word searches, cozy mysteries, and train track logic puzzles, made for people who enjoy a pencil-and-paper break.
Why we make these books
Some readers want a familiar word search with big, clear letters. Others enjoy a logic challenge that asks them to think through the next step. We make room for both: thoughtful pages, clear instructions, and a puzzle worth sitting down with.
Our large print word search books put readability first. Train Track offers a different challenge: follow the numbers, use the printed pieces, and build one continuous railway. Each collection has its own character, with full solutions to help readers check their work.
A distraction should never feel like a struggle. It should feel like a quiet hour that belongs to you.
For anyone who needs a rest from the screen
Sometimes you want an activity that stays on the page: a word to find, a clue to follow, or a track to connect. A pencil-and-paper puzzle gives you something to work through without notifications or another screen.
Choose a cozy word search for a quiet afternoon or take on a more involved logic puzzle. You can complete one page, pause, and come back to it later. The pace and the challenge are yours to choose.
What we believe
Easy to read is a form of respect
Our word search books use big letters and roomy grids. Across our collections, clear layouts help readers concentrate on the puzzle.
Designed for adults
From gardens, seasons, and small-town mysteries to railway logic challenges, each collection offers its own way to enjoy puzzling.
Finishing feels good
Finding the last word or connecting the final track piece is a satisfying moment. Every puzzle includes a complete solution to check.
Meet our train track logic puzzles
Train Track Logic Puzzles for Adults introduces two ways to play: connect station A to station B, or build one closed loop. Row and column numbers tell you how many squares hold track.
The book contains 200 original puzzles across five levels. Each puzzle has three progressive hints and a complete solution, with rules and a worked example to get you started.

A small press, on purpose
We are a small, independent publisher, and we like it that way. Every book is planned, written and checked page by page before it reaches you, and every message we receive is read and answered personally.
