5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not "Ultra-Hard" but better than most., September 7, 1997

This review is from: Random House Ultrahard Crosswords, Volume 3 (Stan Newman) (Paperback)

Finding a book of hard puzzles shouldn't have to include the fact that "Celibes ox" is "anoa". I've done all four Ultra-Hard puzzle books and they are clever and pretty challenging. Some of the interlocks are awe-inspiring; Eric Albert's Ultra-Ultra Hard puzzles are true-brain teasers, but always innovative. (For instance, the clue "sales pitch" turned out to be "pie". Get it? Like Soupy Sales throwing a pie.) highly recommended.
