A good cryptogram book for folks that like them. Spiralbound makes it very user friendly. Wish the author had published a second volume.

I am really enjoying the cryptograms in "Cryptograms to Keep You Sharp". I love the meaningful quotes, and the font size is perfect! The good quality paper and sprial binding are a big plus as well.

Also, the hints are arranged in the beginning of the book, so you don't have to worry about having a wandering eye, and seeing the full solution when you only wanted a hint.

Overall, I would highly recommend this book to both the cryptogram "pro" & "novice" alike - it's a great one!

This book is a favorite for cryptogram lovers like myself. I particularly liked the hint Code sheet that relates to 3 hints for each puzzle. You choose whether to check the hint code sheet only if you need hints. The puzzles become progressively more difficult and they are good to the very last... puzzle. I wanted more, but it's too bad there isn't a volume 2.

I am an huge cryptogram fan. This book is great. The only nitpick I have is that the answers are printed one after the other, so you might wind up seeing the next quote if you go to check your answer. I love the spiral binding, and the fact that it is printed on thick white paper. I'm usually frustrated with cryptogram books because the paper is cheap and tears when you inevitably have to erase.

This book is what I was looking for. Too many cryptograms book have 'too small type font' and are impossible to do. This one is good :)

This is the perfect book for cryptogram lovers. You can use none or up to 3 hints for each puzzle. Spiral bound makes it easy to use also.

I haven't done a cryptogram in years, since our local newspaper dropped the daily cryptoquote. Even with my lack of skill, I still find this cryptograms in this book to be quite easy. Like, beginner level. That said, I'm enjoying them, but I will hope to find a more challenging book in the future.

There are "hints" in this book--which I seriously doubt anyone would need, and which I promptly tore out and threw away--368 cryptograms, with solutions in the back.

Great way to start these fun puzzles, but not a book for someone wanting a challenge.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book........sure wish there was a series..love the spiral bound......plenty of space to write your letters. Most of them are pretty easy (which suits me fine)!! Just sorry I am at puzzle 354 and the book ends at 368! If you want to, there is a 'cheat sheet' to get a start but most of the puzzles don't need any of that.........yes, some of the puzzles are silly.........but who cares????? If you love cryptos like I do, you will enjoy this book!

This one is great. Lots of room above letters to work with - not cramped together like most cryptogram books. Good quality paper lets you erase without making holes. Three hints per cryptogram lets you select your own level of difficulty. Lots of fun - this book is tops!

I was very disappointed in this book. The book itself is nice in that it has the spiral binding, which is why I bought it. However, most of the puzzles are gibberish. I especially do not like the ones which all words start with the same letter. I guess I like puzzles which are not only fun and challenging, but add something to my intellect.
