This book, the fifth in the series published by Simon & Schuster, is a joy. First, you get three hundred puzzles for roughly three cents apiece, a real bargain. Second, the puzzles are printed on good paper stock that takes pencil marks a lot better than the glossy New York Times Sunday puzzles. Each page has a perforated inner edge, making it easy to remove the puzzle if, like me, you're one who prefers to tear out the pages and work the puzzles on a clipboard. Third, there is a variety of puzzles, from moderately difficult 15 x 15 to harder 21 X 21 puzzles. All the puzzles have an overriding theme. And the constructors are by and large not those you run into with the New York Times puzzles, so you get their fresh perspectives.

An easy recommendation.

Good puzzles, the books in this series are a mixture of levels of difficulty and some are humoruous. My husband and I both enjoy doing them and have tried several in this series.

I chose this book because my husband is always looking for a crossword puzzle when we fly and I thought he would enjoy having a supply of them. He has now become addicted to this book. I think the fact that it has tear-out pages makes it especially easy to use. I hope I can find a similar replacement when he finishes this one because it may not last until our next trip!

The tear-out pages are a great boon. None of the puzzles are very difficult but some are a little challenging.

I bought this for my mother who loves crossword puzzles. The tear-out pages are a great feature.
I would recommend this book.

was somewhat disappointing. the puzzles were a little simplistic, especially the first half of the book. it was still fun just not the challenge i expected.
