Large Print Crosswords #4 (Navh National Association for Visually Handicapped) [Large Print] [Spiral-bound]

Thomas Joseph (Author)

Book Description

Series: Navh National Association for Visually Handicapped | Publication Date: May 28, 2004

Puzzles so good that they've earned the seal of approval from the NAVH (National Association for Visually Handicapped).

Now, crossword lovers with less than perfect sight can enjoy their favorite pastime without the frustration of trying to read small-size clues and fill in tiny boxes. Each of these puzzles--125 in each book--take up two full pages, and have large word type and generously sized grids with easy-to-see numbering. It's a challenge for the brain, not the eyes, allowing solvers to focus on doing the puzzle, not trying to discern the words. And, of course, the well-constructed crosswords cover a diverse range of topics, avoid "crosswordese," and provide hours of fun.

ABOUT THE NAVH:
The National Association for Visually Handicapped is the only national health agency solely devoted to the "hard of seeing." It's dedicated to the ideal that visual impairment need not lessen one's quality of life. The organization pioneered the development of an accepted standard for large print, and offers education, equipment, and 24-hour assistance to those with limited vision.

My mother loves this book. The puzzles are challenging but not too hard. We work them together without a dictionary or other reference. Between the two of us we can solve 90%, some only after a lot of effort. We make small errors on the other 10%, usually missing only 2 clues. It's exactly the right level for us.

Thomas Joseph, the writer, has the daily crossword in my local newspaper. I do it everyday along with some friends. I felt sure I could trust the book to have crosswords that were not too hard and not too easy either. It has not let me down. My husband and I word the puzzles at home and find them to be "just right". We buy the large print size for the ease in handling and sharing the book. I bought volumes 4 & 5 so they will last a while. If you enjoy crosswords, this is an excellent buy.

My Mom has problems with her sight and struggles to read but these puzzles are great. So many puzzle books say large print but these truly are. Not only can she see and read the puzzles it helps strengthen her memory skills. Love these books would greatly recommend for anyone sight impaired or not.
