This review is from: The New Pencil Pastimes: Book of Seek-A-Word (Paperback)

Lots of challenging word-search puzzles for word-search fans. The only things that kept me from giving it five stars is that it has too many of the "Tail Tag," "Loose Letter," and "Tangleword" puzzles, which I'm not all that fond of, but I do like the cube-shaped diagrams. Also, the large format of the book makes it somewhat unwieldy. All in all, though, a winner!

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT BOOK!, September 27, 2000

I just bought this book, I wanted something different than crossords and fill-in-the-blank. It's the best collection I've found yet. B Dalton Booksellers need to stock a better varieties of these kinds of books.
