This review is from: Los Angeles Times Sunday Crossword Omnibus, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

A must-buy for those who want challenging, clever and sometimes witty crossword puzzles. I'd rate the degree of difficulty as being just below that of The Washington Post. Lots of Hollywood references make it a bit more fun for those who love old movies. I also appreciated the fact that every LA Times puzzle book I've worked to date contains actual words, not misspellings or created ones.

LA Times Sunday crosswords are fun and not too hard. They are ideal to unwind. The only gripe I have is the lack of spiral binding on these heavy and unwieldy tomes. Some have the spiral but the majority don't. I'd be willing to pay a bit more for this added comfort.
