Solve 'em like a pro

Everyone loves or at least has had a Rubik's Cube, and most of us have mastered it (or at least solved it once or twice). But how much do you really know about the cube? And how much would you like to be able to solve it any time you desired? Well, lucky for you we found The Cube! Five puzzle masters share their expertise on the greatest puzzle ever created. Not only does The Cube provide dozens of strategies for competitive cubing - including speedcubing - it also shows you how to solve every kind of cube that exists. From the Mini Cube (2x2x2) to the Classic (3x3x3) to the Rubik's Revenge (4x4x4) to the Professor's Cube (5x5x5) to even the largest cubes available: the V-Cube 6 (6x6x6) and the V-Cube 7 (7x7x7) - this book's got it all. It even includes modular instructions for cubes of any potential size! All solutions are fully illustrated with all-new, easy-to-follow instructions created specially for this book.

This unique book also includes a fascinating history of the Rubik's Cube - from its invention in 1974 by Ernö Rubik to the '80s craze to its resurgence today, including dozens of rare photographs of vintage cubes, ephemera, and more! Packed with color photos from Jerry Slocum's extensive and unique collection of mechanical puzzles, The Cube is a must-have companion to the ultimate brainteaser.

Bonus: Introduction by the main man himself: Ernö Rubik!
