These are not puzzles made by Tesla, nor his favorites, nor Tesla themed (for the most part).
A number of quotes from Tesla are included, and some random snippets of biographical nature (his mother's death, his love affair with a pigeon, etc.) but otherwise the puzzles are only superficially related to anything about him, if that. There are a few riddles that require some lateral thinking to solve. Some involve algebra where the "variables" are shown as gadgets. Many of the puzzles are simple variations of the same puzzle (predict the next shape in a series, or fit a number into a grid, or rotating shapes to fit the pattern). None are particularly challenging, although some require grunt work to slog through to a solution. Some are a little ambiguous where a solution might be thought of, but not the one they were looking for because they didn't detail the problem sufficiently. The observation/memory puzzle where one gazes at a collection of items then turns the page for another image of them, and attempts to identify which have changed places is a little misleading: not only do they change places but they are sometimes enlarged or reduced in the process and the differences between them is slight.
Overall, I found many of the puzzles seemed like make-work and skipped over the later variations. The riddles were usually worthwhile and I at least tried some of each type of puzzle, but in the end just read through all the Tesla quotes.
TL;DR: Not "The Nikola Tesla Puzzle Collection", but "Puzzles and Riddles with Some Tesla Quotes Interspersed"

Gaming the book seems redundant when reviewing a game book.… (mere)

Very disappointed with this book because it had so much potential. I found a few typos and mistakes in the book. At times the book is confusing and difficult to follow. However, I believe that this book can be saved with a second edition. The art was very good but this book needs to be professionally edited. The typos and errors need to be fixed and the confusing parts made clear. Some of the puzzles need to be replaced with a different type of puzzle and more background information is needed for many of the battles; including information on how each battle illustrates the teachings of Sun Tzu.… (mere)
