4.0 out of 5 stars Several significant typos, but still rewarding, March 10, 2006

This review is from: The New York Times Acrostic Puzzles Volume 10: 50 Engaging Acrostics from the Pages of The New York Times (Spiral-bound)
I've completed 26 books of this type (Acrostic, Acrostix, Crostic, Crostix ...), and in the others, typos were rare and insignificant -- they were in the clues. This book has several instances of mislabeled letters, a few cases where "(two words)" was missing, and one case where "(two words)" was on a one-word answer but missing from a nearby two-word answer. I was still able to solve the puzzles, however, and I enjoyed them.

4.0 out of 5 stars High quality as always, March 18, 2006
This review is from: The New York Times Acrostic Puzzles Volume 10: 50 Engaging Acrostics from the Pages of The New York Times (Spiral-bound)
The NY Times acrostics are always challenging, which I love. If you are new to acrostics, or just want some that are a little more "mindless", then I suggest the Mensa acrostics book, they are much easier.
