Will Shortz Presents Ferocious Sudoku: 200 Hard Puzzles (Will Shortz Presents) 3 reviews
Will Shortz
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
Just What I Wanted
This book gives you 100 "difficult" puzzles and 100 "very challenging" puzzles. Although there's no official grading system for Sudoku puzzles, I've done about half the puzzles in this book and I would say those descriptions are accurate. The "difficult" puzzles are hard enough to make me think but not so hard that I've had to use notations to solve them, and the "very challenging" puzzles ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002
For those of us that know our limitations!
For those that don't know: the answers are int he back, six to a page. Some may have trouble with this and feel the desire to glance at the other answers on the page. If you are doing the puzzles in order, you may glance and remember an answer.
The book is spiral bound, so it lays nice and flat, unlike those that are cheap and glue-bound like a magazine.
Printed on newsprint-like paper, ...

Fabulous Poolside or on the Train
I am a crossword addict, but after a tough day at work, I don't have the energy for the Sunday- level NYT Crossword. So when I just want to unwind I get out this book and do one of the puzzles. It refreshes my memory for clues that help me do harder puzzles when I am not fatigued, and still lets me get my crossword fix. The same quality as the other puzzles... just puzzles for the frazzles!

Great Brain teasers
When you complete one of these crosswords (without using a dictionary or cheating!) you really feel like you have accomplished something. I love it when I complete a puzzle that I didn't even start filling in until about clue #20! You can't go wrong with Will Shortz.

Too big, too easy
Yes, I know the title says "Easy," but these puzzles proved a little too easy for me and I'm not a seasoned crossword solver. Also, I had another NY Times crossword book, and it was small, like a traditional paperback, so I was expecting the same. This Omnibus is large, big, like the size of a laptop and unwieldy; it's hard to carry it around in your purse or backpack, which is what I had ...

This usually involves a series of word puzzles with short answers you can come up with on the spot. The other half of the puzzles in The Puzzlemaster Presents are of the sort that he leaves us with to solve during ...

The New York Times Little Black (and White) Book of Crosswords10 reviews
St. Martin's Griffin, 2006
Pleasant, long-lasting variety of puzzles
Wonderful format--spiral bound, nice paper, print not too small. Excellent variety of easy-to-difficult puzzles of varying craftiness. Our family of three has toted it on trips to do them in the car, while waiting for our meals, etc., and it's great for easier middle-of-the-night puzzles to help one drowse off. Highly recommended for puzzlers of all levels.
