This book has a great variety of puzzles that are at various levels. I would say they range from about a 3-6 on a scale of 10 in terms of difficultness.

I do Maura Jacobson's crossword puzzle every week in New York magazine. Some of them are really clever, and most of them make me smile. I have all of her books, and am now waiting for the next one......... I have read that she is very well respected in the crossword puzzle society and lots of her clues elicit a groan of laughter when they are figured out. They are not difficult or ridiculous, like a lot of crossword puzzles are.

I have been an addict since the first issue.

Jacobson still manages to surprise me weekly.

Do not hesitate; her puzzles are the top !

I prefer the really hard stumpers like the NY Times Sunday crosswords, so these aren't as challenging. Yet they show imagination and are still fun. Occasionally I have to look up something to get an answer. They're not easy crosswords.

Maura Jacobson's puzzles are always fubn to do! The are current and sharp, punny and funny and full of good humor. You need to wear your thinking cap though, dobn't be fooled into thinking that they are e-z! This is a great mix of puzzles to keep you busy and smiling and groaning on occasion!

I am about to order more of Maura Jacobson's puzzle books. My weekly New York Magazine puzzle is not enough -- MORE Maura is needed here! She is the best.

The binding on this book is actually pretty cool - a covered spiral - because it lies flat, doesn't get stuck on things in your purse, and still has the ease of a spiral-bound book. The puzzles are as great as the other volumes, and the price is right. Great gift idea for crossword junkies!
