Publisher: Ravensburger (Germany), published Feb 2015 Title: “Best of British #12: The County Park”, Artist: Geoff Tristram, 1000 pieces OUR RATING: 10 I love the "Best of British" series because they're both humorous cartoon puzzles and British/Anglophile puzzles at once.

Publisher: Jumbo (Netherlands), published Feb 2015 Title: “Tall Ship Chaos”, Artist: Jan Van Haasteren Studios (Rob Derks), 1000 pieces OUR RATING: 9.5 This is one of my favorite of the new 2015 images.
