Once upon a time, about 18 years ago, we came up with the idea for a jigsaw puzzle where you just matched up tiny conversations to put it together. Naturally we called this The Talking Jigsaw Puzzle and rushed to put it in a box. The first of these was set in an office building and provided the template for one of the most successful puzzles we ever developed. It sold fabulous numbers, probably close to a million units and pioneered the idea of a puzzle that didn't depend solely on a pretty picture to put it together. I get almost daily emails from people who grew up putting this puzzle together and want more. Despite the cult following, no one has stepped up to re-introduce this puzzle to the marketplace. Sigh. One day, I'll have to make a run of these things and maybe a new title or so. Here was a puzzle that not only sold, it became a treasure, a part of people's lives. It's not often that you get to be part of something like that. I've started a group on Yahoo!There is also a group on Facebook - search for Talking Jigsaw Puzzles

I bought the office version of your game from good will for a games people play class I teach at an alterntive school. It didn't come with the interchangeable windows component. I would love to play the game. Can I get just that part of the puzzle
