WSJ Crossword Omnibus,
By Tracie Goetz "TG" (Akron, OH USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Crossword Puzzle Omnibus (Paperback)
If you like WSJ crosswords, this book is a 9.9 out of 10. Only suggestion I have is to use spriral binding (like the smaller WSJ volumes) to make it easier to fold the book while working on the puzzles.

250 Sunday-sized crosswords from the WSJ,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Crossword Puzzle Omnibus (Paperback)
This strongly recommended `omnibus' volume collects 250 Sunday-sized crosswords originally published in Friday issues of the Wall Street Journal between 2000 and 2006. These puzzles were originally reprinted in the first five spiral-bound, fifty-puzzle volumes of the WSJ series. I have been a fan of Editor Mike Shenk's puzzles since his 1980s work in Games Magazine. Top cruciverbalists like Brendan Emmett Quigley, Harvey Estes, Rich Norris, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon feature prominently herein. Random House rates these puzzles as 'medium to hard'
One puzzle appears on each page and all answers are in the back. Grids measure about 5" x 5". This is slim enough for most travelers yet still offers good value, costing less than a nickel per puzzle. Any financial references are basic and should not dissuade non-economists (for example one theme uses BULL and BEAR in several answers). I'm aware of the right-leaning politics of the WSJ newspaper editorial board but do not notice any traces of that in the WSJ puzzle. I look forward to a new puzzle online each Friday and consider it on par with the more famous Sunday one from the New York Times.
