This review is from: The Wall Street Journal Crossword Puzzles, Volume 1 (Spiral-bound)

I love good crossword puzzles. I used to enjoy the NY Times collections but the page size was reduced and the clues unreadable without squinting. The Wall Street puzzles are by and large, excellent, often very clever. I have purchased every copy that has been available. Thank you Wall Street Journal and Mike Shenk. I just read that the Journal has been sold to a new owner. I pray that the puzzles remain as great as they have been in the past.
