You might look at Dover (http://www.doverpublications.com). They are one of the most inexpensive book publishers I’ve encountered and I’m frequently delighted with their books and have used them overseas in teaching environments. For math/logic puzzles, I recommend tangrams (do a search – Dover has several good books on them) and you might look for other books with ideas for your other curriculum needs too.
