Eye Twistersis all about ambigrams - words that are written or drawn so that they can be read in more than one way, back to front, upside down, turned this way and that. If you enjoy Escher's drawings, ambiguous figures, puzzles, optical illusions or mathematical recreations, you will love ambigrams.Here, over 200 of the best examples by the world's top ambigram artists are showcased, many for the first time. The history and philosophy of the form are explained, you can learn how to make your own ambigrams and sharpen your mind on mind-bending problems (topsy-turvy Sudoku, anyone?). The result is a wholly original, magical book that all age groups will find irresistible.
