If you love mazes and have a Macintosh, you will enjoy the Virtual Maze Book-Lite, a cute little program that generates mazes that you can print and solve. (Sorry, there is no Windows version and there never will be--my time is to valuable to produce a version.) Download the Virtual Maze Book (lite).
Even if you do not have a Macintosh, you will enjoy two maze books I designed: Fascinating Mazes 1993 and Maze Madness 1996. They were both published by Dover, which may be the largest publisher of maze puzzle books in the world. This was what the Dover PR said about my mazes:
"These computer-produced puzzles...provide a treat for the eye as well as the mind. Many have a hard-edged, high-tech look that the maze-minded will find particularly appealing."

If you are not a maze lover but you need some mazes for publication, and if you are willing to pay for my time and effort, please write to me. You can see some of what I can do in the two books listed above, but they were done several years ago, and I can now do many things I could not do then.

I have found three sites that have maze generators, allowing you to instantly get a maze. The first gives the user a limited amount of control over the maze that is generated, but only generates very conventional mazes. Visit it at www.delorie.com.
The second impressed me more, though in this one the user has less control over what is produced. But by pressing reload a few times, one gets some variety in the mazes. Visit it at conk.com
Here is a third, which in addition to rectangular mazes, produces mazes in the shape of a Christmas tree or a valentine. Visit it at www.flint.umich.edu
If you know of other neat maze pages on the web, please drop me a note with the address. I am at robert_schenk@yahoo.com.
(If you are interested in purchasing mazes, I can produce mazes similar to almost all of those on the above sites, plus a great deal more.)
