2.0 out of 5 stars Very poorly edited...., August 24, 2009
......but I don't blame Will Shortz. I've done his NY Times puzzles for years and I don't think I have ever found a single mistake. This book, however, is riddled with them. Excuse the pun. I lost count of the many errors. Several puzzles are un-completable due to mistakes either in the editing or the printing. The puzzles that work are great fun but this book did not deserve to have Shortz's name on it.
