2No Puzzle Titles  Nov 25, 2007
By B. Wolf
After really enjoying volume 1 through 4 of this series, I bought volume 7. The puzzles are just as great in this one as in volumes 1 through 4, but the titles of the puzzles are missing! This removes some of the fun, as part of doing a crossword is figuring out how the title relates to the puzzle theme. This is an incredible oversight to me--the book claims it was edited by Will Shortz, but I doubt he even looked at it or surely this would have been caught. You're better off sticking to the volumes that are complete.

5Perfect gift for the addicted.  Jan 10, 2007
By BosGav
After seeing the movie "Wordplay," my wife became interested in solving the NY Times crossword puzzle and is now addicted. This book was the perfect gift for a vacation to a place where getting the newspaper is not so easy.

3Lots of fun, doable puzzles, but too many recycled clues  Nov 10, 2007
By Mark Greenbaum
Just recently I become interested in crosswords for the first time, so I picked up this book. The puzzles in it are for the most part very fun and pretty doable, even for a crossword beginner.

My one complaint about this volume is that there are way too many recycled clues in the fifty different puzzles. Perhaps there are just certain basic clues that are common to most puzzles, but I found -- and I am not exaggerating -- no less than 50 clues which were used in multiple puzzles. And I am not talking about just the same answer, but essentially the same clue. After a while this became very annoying. Not a gigantic deal, but it is something that bugged me a little.

Three stars.

5MY kind of crosswords !  Nov 18, 2010
By Larry Fryer "Retired Pub. Sch. Dist. Administrator"
LOVE THIS SERIES--I don't want to be challenged--want to feel that I have accomplished something daily (do two a day), and these easy crosswords allow me that great opportunity. YEA for Will Shortz. Keep them coming.
