1. I bought a BUNCH of these New York Times Crossword books for my mom including this one. She was very ardent about working puzzles and felt they helped her maintain her mental powers. I felt they did. I wondered if the print was TOO large but then it gave her a large work space as she savored the puzzles and kept returning to them. I also gave her a subscription to crosswords she could receive from them in the mail. During a visit, I was pleased to see she and a friend working them together. They are the perfect gift for an aging person who might be physically disabled but likes to stay on top of their game. Great stimulation!



2. My Dad loves crosswords but they're always so small.. with this he doesn't need to wear his glasses. I see him at this book a lot! The puzzles really aren't that easy; they aren't the mind numbing challenges you'll get on Saturday and Sunday... more like Monday - Thursday's puzzles in the NY Times. Respectable levels of difficulty to keep you challenged yet able to complete. I DO find some he hasn't finished yet. My Dad's a pretty smart guy (Cornell grad) and I want to keep him that way... a great gift!



3. These puzzles are NOT easy. I gave this book to my elderly mother in a nursing home to help pass the time and she cannot even start most of the puzzles.
   It was a waste of money to buy this book.



4. Not easy. I bought it for my 92 yr. old mother. The clues were not appropriate for the answers.

1. We received the 2006 version as a gift and liked it so well that we had to order the 2007 version. Challenging yet "do-able" puzzles. Hard board-like pages are easy to write on without a table. We didn't use the calendar this past year, but this year I've started to write little messages to my husband on future dates, just for fun.

1. I love these -- the print is big enough my old eyes can see it easily, the puzzles are neither so simple I am bored nor so hard I want to tear my hair out and take another blood pressure pill. The "used" copy received was in perfect condition with not a mark on it inside or out. Shipping was by USPS and it actually arrived a couple of days faster than expected. Great product and great service.
