Amazon.com Review
Variety is the name of this selection of games from the versatile pages of Games Magazine. Along with the usual crossword puzzles and anacrostics you'll find a number of brilliant variations, clever twists on cryptograms and a wealth of unpigeon-holeable bits of puzzlement that will keep you entertained through many a long wait, slow weekend or relaxing evening. Some are tricky, so keep an eraser handy and open that ink pen at your own risk.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Good variety, but way, way, way too easy,
This review is from: Games Magazine Presents Best Pencil Puzzles (Paperback)
It is true that this puzzle book has a wide variety of puzzles. However, they are all painfully easy. Lovers of Games Magazine, and Games World of Puzzles Magazine are familiar with the 1-star, 2-star, and 3-star difficulty ratings. 95% of these puzzles are at the 1-star difficulty. The remaining 5% are struggling up to 1 1/2 stars. If you enjoy easy puzzles, this one's definitely for you. If, however, you enjoy being even moderately challenged, please save your money. Otherwise you will be as disappointed as I.

*Not* Large-Print!,

This review is from: Games Magazine Presents Best Pencil Puzzles (Paperback)
I'm sure it's a great collection - I'm a huge Will Shortz fan - but this book is incorrectly catalogued as Large-Print in the title (Games Magazine Presents Best Pencil Puzzles [Large Print] [Paperback]). I purchased this as a gift based on that description, and am sorely disappointed.
