4Wish the page layout respected the puzzles  Jun 20, 2010
In the original volume 1, each puzzle was allowed to occupy a page. The form fit the function.

Someone with the publisher decided a penny could be saved if they could jam the puzzles closer together, so volume 2 loses the form/function synergy.

I'll nourish a hope that volume 3 will return to the appropriate formatting of the original volume 1.

Will Shortz is still a genius, though, and his puzzles are... ingenious!

5Endlessly challenging and addicting.  Nov 10, 2009
I found the first edition of Will Shortz's puzzle books while on vacation at the Oregon Coast, and finished it in a few days. I immediately looked for another in book stores, but could not find another. Then I tried good old reliable Amazon and had a new book in a few days. These puzzles are challenging, but doable. I am a crossword puzzle buff, cannot do the New York Times Sunday puzzle by Will but I can handle almost all the puzzles in the book.

5Great for long plane rides  Jan 24, 2008
Pass the time with some of Will Shortz's word puzzles. I have both volumes 1 and 2 of this, and they're the perfect books to throw in my bag if I know I'm going to be waiting a while anywhere.

5Free at last  Sep 11, 2007
Finally a book of varied puzzles to break the Sudoku addiction. If you make a point to listen to Will and Lianne on Sunday mornings, you have to get this collection of NPR on air challenges. Great fun while traveling.
