4Got a magnifying glass?  Jul 02, 2008
Whilst the puzzles in this book are regular Sunday size, the grids are smaller than I like, which makes it kind of difficult to read the numbers in the boxes. Also, I would say 80% of these were printed in the Wall Street Journal Omnibus which I received for Christmas, and would recommend that one of 250 puzzles with larger grids.

5The World's Best Large-Sized Crosswords  Jan 14, 2005
Puzzlers know that the Sunday Times crosswords are not necessarily the hardest ones--those are the puzzles that appear on Fridays and Saturdays in the Times--but they are much bigger, about half again as large as the daily puzzles. And they also have a title--which helps the solver to figure out what the puzzle's theme might be--and they supply name the constructor of the puzzles, something that doesn't occur with the daily puzzles.

Doing the Sunday Times crossword puzzle is a habit with many of the Times's readers, but for those of us who don't live in New York or buy the Sunday Times, this is the next best thing. I know I wouldn't be able to feel like a Sunday was complete until I had done the Sunday puzzle.

My method, in case anyone is interested, is to tear each puzzle page out and put it on a clipboard. That way one doesn't have to deal with any awkwardness from trying to do the puzzles while holding a largeish book, although I've done that, too. Also, this allows for your pencil marks to remain crisp whereas if you leave the puzzle in the book the softness of the underlying pages makes your pencil marks a little blurry.

Make no mistake, these are wonderful puzzles and the price is very reasonable.
