By this I mean books with math puzzles and problems similar to the ones you would find in mathematical olympiads.

Best Answer

If you're after Olympiad-level books, get The IMO Compendium which is a collection of problems from the International Math Olympiad, 1959-2004. You can find similar books with national Olympiad problems by going to Amazon and searching for "mathematical Olympiad".

Two books that offer collections of techniques useful for olympiad-level contests are Paul Zeitz's The Art and Craft of Problem Solving and Arthur Engel's Problem Solving Strategies.

There are lots of other books with similar titles and descriptions. Just follow Google Books's suggestions.
