Strange request but a bumper book of NVR?
This is a bit of an odd request, as those who know me know that my time for 11+ has been and gone.
How ever a few months ago my mum picked up an old NVR book and started looking at them. She was always a bit curious about the tests DD had done.
Then she started doing some. For pleasure. She liked them. She wanted more. I think it's because it's a type of puzzle she can do and do well. (She is functionally illiterate for various reasons.) I have given most of mine away.
So looking for suitable books with more of the same/similar. Not necessarily for 11+. Has anyone come across anything that they then discounted for 11+ as not being quite suitable, but would fit the bill in this case? Otherwise I'll buy her some bond books

Can't help you but if you find one might be inclined to purchase myself, understand your mother's fascination totally . They are my fav bit of 11+ practice and much to my chagrin the eldest DSs didn't have to do any and the younger two don't need my help . That said have just purchased Bond 11+,12+ and am sure at the end of all this, last year for me finally and most definitely this time, there'll be some left for me to do solo

Can't help any I'm afraid, but I'm another who loves doing them and ohhhhhhh the satisfaction, especially the hard ones

My son who is just 8 loves doing them too. If anyone has come across a book then I would also like know about it.

How about the Thinkfun puzzles? Lots of NVR in their little games.
