Summary: My favorite crossword puzzle book
Review: A while ago, I bought dozens of crossword books. This is my favorite of the bunch. It has everything going for it. The puzzles are the larger Sunday size (more fun, I think), and they're from the New York Times (one of the best publishers of crosswords). More puzzles than many other books makes this collection even better -- 50 recent puzzles and 50 from the Times' archives. True, the puzzles (especially the older ones) are hard. But when has the level of difficulty interfered with the enjoyment of a good crossword? If you do newspaper crosswords, give this a book a try. It is more convenient to deal with a spiral-bound book than layers of newspaper. (And no waiting for the answers to appear.)

Summary: Correction
Review: At least two other customer reviews here state that this book contains 50 contemporary AND 50 classic puzzles. These readers must be reviewing different book. There are only 50 puzzles, here, as stated in the Amazon description.

Summary: Sunday puzzle any day
Review: Interesting and challenging, with good themes, the 50 contemporary puzzles are what one hopes to find Sunday mornings. There are 50 old puzzles in the beginning of the book in chronological order from the l940's through the eighties, and the language and style in the earliest ones is unfamiliar and daunting. By working them from the latest back, I was able to learn a little as I went, and enjoyed them more. Overall, a good head rub.

Summary: Does it come with an eraser?
Review: Not really a review as such -- just a comment. Laughing hysterically over offer of "used" crossword book...hopefully they were done in pencil and come with a large eraser!!
