1. These puzzles are somewhat challenging--generally not as fun or as difficult as the Sunday NYT puzzles. My chief complaint is that nearly half the puzzles are centered around long quotations. I don't enjoy those so I end up only doing half the puzzles.

4 comments about The New York Times Tough Crossword Puzzles Volume 10.

1. Exactly what expected- as advertised as they say. Great Friday and Saturday tough puzzles- on that mid-week day when Wednesday's puzzle is just not doing it for you. More of these please!



2. I like these puzzles because they are really a learning and teaching experience. I do what I can of a puzzle and then check the answers to complete it or to get me "unstuck". Some of the puzzles are real headaches, but I find when I go back to easier and bigger puzzles, I am so much better at them for having struggled with the Tough stuff. I am so glad for them.



3. A thought-provoking group of puzzles--not as hard as Saturday puzzles, but close. An enjoyable few hours of puzzle solving.
   It's nice, too, that W. Shortz includes the names of the puzzle constructors--a hard, time-consuming occupation.



4. This volume collects 100 (mostly humbling) Friday and Saturday New York Times crosswords originally published between 11/13/98 and 10/23/99. Top cruciverbalists like Brendan Emmett Quigley, Harvey Estes, Fred Piscop, Frank Longo, Emily Cox and Henry Rathvon feature prominently herein. Anyone that can power through these puzzles is truly a top solver. With one puzzle to a page both the grid and clues are pleasantly large. This is slim enough for travelers yet still offers good value, costing less than a dime per puzzle. I've found even better deals on this and other older NYT crossword collections on Amazon sellers' pages.

2 comments about The New York Times Large-Print Crossword Puzzle Omnibus Volume 6: 120 Large-Print Puzzles from the Pages of The New York Times (New York Times Large Print Crossword Puzzles).

1. I bought a BUNCH of these large print New York Times Crossword books for my Mom including this one. She was ardent about solving them and felt they helped her in maintaining her mental powers. I would have to agree on that. The large print really IS large and seemed too big to me at first but they were easier for her to savor and work on at her own pace. They also have puzzles you can subscribe to and receive through the mail. I was surprized and delighted during a visit to see that she and a friend worked on them together. They're a terrific resource for an aging parent and well worth the price for the stimulation !!



2. For a person who loves the NYT puzzles but found herself squinting and sometimes using a magnifying glass to finish a puzzle- this was the answer.
   The puzzles are great and the print is so relaxing. I keep one book next to my favorite chair and the other next to my bed.

3 comments about Super Crossword Collection (Spiral Crosswords).

1. I bought this book as a gift for my 82 year old friend. He's in and out of the VA hospital, and I thought the smaller size and the spiral bound would be great for travel. He fell in love with it and completed 98% of the puzzles. He gave it to me to finish. Not being one for puzzles, I have to use dictionaries. He does not. He also has dementia.



2. I was given this book as a gift last Christmaas. I have finished all the puzzles and enjoyed the book very much. I especially like the spiral binding and the handy size. Great to take to the beach which I did many times. I am searching for another so I can enjoy the puzzles this year.



3. I love the size, shape, sturdiness, texture of paper, level of difficulty, and especially the spiral binding. I am frustrated trying to find more copies. I wish to give some as gifts and need another for myself, but am having difficulty locating them. There are so many crossword puzzle books in the world and this one is the best. From a graduate level and professional degreed educator!
