In unrelated news, can anybody identify any of these books by these pictoral references?

Better yet, does anybody know where I can buy this puzzle?

Looks like a special edition puzzle from a company called "Illumicrate"

"Illumicrate Exclusive The Science Fiction Bookcase 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle"

They don't seem to have it on their website, though.

Well, if I can get it off ebay that's all right too, I guess.

Since it is a brand new box, my guess is that there will be more listings popping up in the next few weeks as people get their boxes and are willing to part with it!

The description doesn't say anything about a puzzle though.

The covered wagon might be Little House on the Prairie.

The cardinal and blue jay make me think of that book which is essentially an enemies to lovers story of people referred to as Blue and Red... [searches] ah. This is How You Lose the Time War.

The cardinal and blue jay are a reference to the cover art for This is How You Lose the Time War, yes. Can confirm.
