From the introduction:
In January and February of 2012 I designed Tantalizing Tessellating Mazes, a book with 70 mazes. Intended to appeal to children in elementary school, the mazes had to be fairly simple. As I worked on the book, I kept thinking that a similar book, focused on interesting geometric shapes and patterns but designed for an adult audience, would be a fun project. A Cornucopia of Mazes: Stars, Tilings and Patterns is that book, though there is little overlap with the designs used in Tantalizing Tessellating Mazes.It is available from Amazon for $6.95.
A Cornucopia of Mazes: Stars, Tilings and Patterns has 84 mazes in three sections. The first section features two dozen mazes based on star patterns. Only one of them uses the familiar five-pointed star or pentagram. Stars with three, four, six, and eight points are easier to fit into simple and regular patterns and thus make better building blocks for mazes.
