Book Description

March 1, 1995 Simon & Schuster's Super Crostics Book (Book 3)
Welcome to Simon & Schuster's third giant collection of classic crostics from the famous Thomas H. Middleton series. Selected from out-of-print books, these puzzles are the best-of-the-best and offer superior challenges for all fans of serious wordplay.

A crostic is like a crossword -- but twice as crafty and twice as rewarding. The clues are a little trickier, and there's a bonus when the puzzle is completed: Each filled-in grid reveals an entertaining quote from a well-known author.

So grab a pen or pencil and rev up your powers of concentration. This collection of vintage crostics will provide hours of mind-teasing fun for all lovers of puzzles and literature.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing for non-Brits, November 2, 2009
By 
puzzle lover (Marin County, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I was so excited to have a whole book of crostics but this seems to be written for people who know lots of specific British history and literature! I've got a post-graduate degree but still had to give up on almost all of the clues - I guess next time I'll pay more attention to where a puzzle book originates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danger! Crostic addicts alert!, July 4, 2001
By 
"jeannetta@adelphia.net" (Lockport, NY United States) - See all my reviews
If you have to go to work tomorrow, don't open this book after 10 p.m. You may be awake 'til the a.m. hours! These crostics are challenging and fun for the word puzzle lover who likes to go a step beyond crosswords to solve a quote and author puzzle. There are even a few cryptic acrostics - a triple treat!

5.0 out of 5 stars Crostics grid format, November 1, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I really like like the format of the grids in Simon & Schusters Crostics puzzles. They are approximately 10 squares wide and it makes it easy to fill in. The clues are sometimes quirky, and the quotes are quotable (as it were) I may buy other crostics puzzle books, but I always buy a Simon & Schusters as well.
