Book Description

Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books February 13, 2007
Across Or Down,

The Best Crosswords Around!

In 1924, Simon & Schuster published its first title, The Cross Word Puzzle Book. Not only was it this new publisher's first release, it was the first collection of crossword puzzles ever printed.

Today, more than eighty years later, the legendary Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book series maintains its status as the standard-bearer for cruciverbal excellence. Published every two months, the series continues to provide the freshest and most original puzzles on the market. Created by the best contemporary constructors -- and edited by top puzzle master John M. Samson -- these Sunday-sized brain-breakers offer hours of stimulation for solvers of every level.

Can you take the challenge? Sharpen your pencils, grit your teeth, and find out!

5.0 out of 5 stars simon & shuster crossword puzzles, April 2, 2007
By 
temp (chatham, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book #254: The Original Crossword Puzzle Publisher (Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books) (Spiral-bound)
I buy this book all the time.This edition is my latest and I have pre-ordered the next one.I find the puzzles challenging but not so hard that I lose interest.I peruse the themes of each one and look for favorites.Pleasantly surprised with the way the author connects the theme to answers and clues.The earlier editions (with 2 authors) were not as enjoyable so I always look for the editions by J. Samson alone.Keep them coming!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too easy, August 18, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book #254: The Original Crossword Puzzle Publisher (Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books) (Spiral-bound)
If you're looking for a challenge like NY Times Sunday Crosswords, don't buy this S&S.
I would classify this as Easy. If you're a beginner, this might be for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Harder than I expected, April 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book #254: The Original Crossword Puzzle Publisher (Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books) (Spiral-bound)
I was only able to work on the first few of these puzzles. I got discouraged and gave the book to a friend. Seem to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday-type puzzles -- not a mix of easy-to-hard, as I had hoped.
