What Customers Say About Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book #254: The Original Crossword Puzzle Publisher (Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzle Books):
|

I would recommend this volume to solvers who can handle moderate difficulty. I am experienced solver, having competed in the NY Times tournament a couple times, finishing in the middle of the pack. Think Thursday NY Times. I've done a half dozen puzzles since getting this book. They are challenging but solvable, with some interesting cluing.
Seem to be Friday, Saturday and Sunday-type puzzles -- not a mix of easy-to-hard, as I had hoped. I was only able to work on the first few of these puzzles. I got discouraged and gave the book to a friend.
Samson alone.Keep them coming. I buy this book all the time.This edition is my latest and I have pre-ordered the next one.I find the puzzles challenging but not so hard that I lose interest.I peruse the themes of each one and look for favorites.Pleasantly surprised with the way the author connects the theme to answers and clues.The earlier editions (with 2 authors) were not as enjoyable so I always look for the editions by J.
