What makes the Simon & Schusters Super CrosswordBook stand out among the rest is the ease of use. The pages are perforated for convenience and a higher quality of paper is used. It is a smoother paper, making the printed word stand out and it making the writing stand out more clearly.

These crosswords are well thought out and challenging for crossword addicts. Highly recommend each in the series. They are so clever that I keep checking to see if #11 is available.

After having purchased my second of this series (and exhausted the first) I just ordered another four of these excellent compendia from amazon. If you're the kind of person who dreams in Latin and does six or seven of these an evening, you soon run into the notion that you want more bang for your buck. These are hard puzzles, but why bother otherwise?

It is supremely satisfying to complete one of these gems. I don't claim to do this for every puzzle in these books, but I get better and better, and give these puzzlers credit. The perforations are great, especially if like me you like to put individual puzzles on a clipboard for some serious attention.

Because I ordered these books from amazon, I got a discount, saved shipping, saved sales tax, and saved the gasoline I would have expended for a desperate emergency bookstore visit.

I am a crossword lover. This series is perfect. Each puzzle is a challenge, without being absurdly difficult or just downright ridiculous. They are the perfect crossword books for anyone who likes the challenge of a good crossword puzzle.

tHIS WAS A "USED" CROSSWORD BOOK. IT WAS IN PERFECT SHAPE, NO RIPPED PAGES OR MARKS EXCEPT FOR A REMAINDER MARK. I WAS TOTALLY PLEASED WITH MY PUCHASE AND WOULD HAVE NO HESITATION IN BUYING MORE OF THESE.

I am an experienced puzzler, but I am also seventy years old. The only real knock on this collection is that they mixed different sizes of puzzle. Many are just fine, but I can't do the smallest sizes without a magnifying glass, and even then it is hard. S&S has other collections where this is not a factor, I recommend them.

I do the daily Boston Globe puzzles and found this book quite difficult. Certainly good for the accomplished puzzler.
