Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book #1 (1) (S&S Mega Crossword Puzzles)

Medium difficulty. Normal vocabulary.

I really love this series of crossword puzzle books. The sheer variety of puzzle authors and puzzle styles keeps it interesting and challenging. These puzzles provide a good brain workout. I suggest keeping one in the bathroom, and working a puzzle a few minutes at a time. Or keep one near your easy chair and do some puzzle time before bed.

These are hands-down my favorite crossword puzzle books. I've purchased #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16 ,17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 to-date. Don't know what the heck I'm going to do when I've completed them all!?

I've purchased several other volumes of this crossword puzzle book and found them to be just the right amount of challenge for me. I like that the pages tear out so that you can take just one page with you instead of the whole book. Also like the answers in the back in case I get stuck.I recommend these books as just difficult enough but not frustrating. Enjoy!

If you like xword puzzles this is a perfect book.

Used some others I got as a gift and decided to buy them in order.

Love these crossword books and have bought them all - have now started to buy them all again! HOWEVER: the pages are NOT perforated as indicated on the cover! I suspect that Simon & Schuster has another vendor doing reprints of their original books and they are not bothering to perforate the pages, although advertised as such. For this reason I have only given a 3 star rating. When tearing out the pages (I use a clipboard) the puzzles or clues are often damaged which is extremely annoying!

When my father needed another dollar store crossword puzzle to keep him busy, I thought I would look for one that I can send him through Amazon. This one got great reviews and the book is well worth the money. It has perforated pages to take out of the book so he is not using the entire book at one time. Makes holding it easier or even using a clipboard. The print is large size and the quality of the pages are great. You will be very pleased with this purchase.
