The crosswords are really fun! The book is lightweight and easy to lay in your lap and fill in the puzzles. The puzzles are quite large so there's enough room to fill in the letters just fine. Great layout!

My husband just started doing crosswords since he retired. This is a good set of puzzles for him: challenging, but not too difficult. A former financial type, he's still getting used to the nuances of some of the clues. Also likes the spiral bound format and larger, lap-worthy size.

Excellent puzzles. Tough enough to challenge without incredible frustration. Great for stress reduction and keeping your mind active. Format is easy to read and the book itself is easy to use. It stays open or can be folded in half.
