The Rise of Peter and Gordon | A Musical Journey

Another "puzzle extravaganza for a cause" just dropped.
Puzzles for Democracy is a set of 51 puzzles for every state in the country plus D.C. -- including crosswords, word games, logic puzzles and more.
Not solved them yet, but I think it's reasonable to assume they're mainly aimed at American solvers.
Among the constructors are lots of my favorites (see tags below).
