While some of the authors create quite difficult puzzles, most of these are enjoyable and challenging. Solving them is a great way to start the day or to end the day.

Love the spiral bound format that allows the puzzle pages to lie flat; wish the quality of the paper was a little better. Pencil smudges and ink bleeds through.

...in the "hard" clues for puzzle 49 (one of the jumbo Millennium puzzles) makes it frustrating, plus one of the regular puzzles is just plain daft. Otherwise up to usual high standards!
