In the introduction Martin Gardner predicted that the book would "remain a classic for decades."In 1993, Slocum founded the Slocum Puzzle Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public on puzzles, through puzzle exhibitions, publications, communications, and collecting.Slocum also founded the International Puzzle Party in 1978, an event dedicated to discussing, showing, and trading, mechanical puzzles. The first eight International Puzzle Parties were held in Slocum's Beverly Hills living room, and then evolved into an annual by-invitation-only event rotating between North America, Europe, and Asia.Slocum has appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Martha Stewart Living, and eight other nationwide TV shows.In 2006, Slocum donated over 30,000 puzzles to the Lilly Library at Indiana University, marking the first time a major collection of puzzles was made available in an academic setting.".
