Summary: New York Times Crosswords
Comment: I love challenging crossword puzzles, and this book is loaded with 200 of them. The only complaint is having worked about half of them I ran into two that left out numbers both across and down which made the crossword unbearably challenging. Still for its cost, it is worth the tearing of the hair and biting of the fingernails trying to complete them. I don't succeed often but when I do without help from the answers in the back I feel vindicated and somewhat intelligent.

Summary: Too tough for me
Comment: I've been doing the NY Time crosswords for years and years, and I have a book of 1,000 of their puzzles which included everything from Monday through Saturday and maybe even a Sunday, too. I thought this would be similar, but it isn't. Either the clues or I am too obtuse.

Perhaps others like puzzles that have four to six clues that run the length of the puzzle, and start with "First line of quote." If I can't get the first line or a few words, I'm certainly not going to be able to get the rest. These must be "world famous" because they've stumped all but the best puzzlers.

Summary: 200 NYT Sunday crosswords from 2001-2005
Comment: This strongly recommended 'omnibus' volume collects 200 New York Times Sunday crossword puzzles that were originally published between August 6, 2001 and June 19, 2005. Some of these puzzles were originally reprinted in recent spiral-bound, fifty-puzzle volumes of the NYT Sunday series. One puzzle appears on each page and all answers are in the back. This is slim enough for most travelers yet still offers good value, costing about a nickel per 21 x 21 puzzle. Volume 10 presumably will not be released until at least Spring 2010.

Summary: Crosswords for addicts
Comment: Do you look forward to the New York Times Sunday puzzle? This book has 200 of them for you along with the answers (so you don't have to wait for a week). At this price you can't go wrong.
