But the puzzles remain nonpareil
Noting the other review, I do agree somewhat with the "materials and construction" complaint, but these delightful Sunday treats remain wonderfully literate, urbane, witty challenges. Now that the AMA has noted the therapeutic value of crosswords at warding off various age-related cognitive difficulties, I say bring on more and better puzzle anthologies for the...

cheapie version
This version and all NY times Crossword Books published by ST MARTIN'S GRIFFIN are poorly done copies of books earlier done by RANDOM HOUSE. These books are cheaper but the quality is much poorer.

The Type face is not as bold and paper quality is poor (pages tear easily with erasures). Also the title of each puzzle is lacking making solving extremely difficult where duoble letter squares are used or the spelling of answers is related to the title clue.

NY Times Sunday Crosswords Edited by Will Shortz,

This review is from: The New York Times Sunday Crossword Omnibus Volume 7: 200 World-Famous Sunday Puzzles from the Pages of The New York Times (Paperback)
I have been enjoying NY Times Sunday Crosswords for years edited by others. But these, edited by Will Shortz, I find loaded with rarely if never used words. I have had two years of college, one at U of C at Berkeley, majoring in English and Literature. I love the English language as well as other languages and how they relate to each other.These puzzles are not fun because the words are not fair. |
