Simon & Schuster Mega Crossword Puzzle Book #19: Volume 19 (S&s Mega Crossword Puzzles) Paperback – 10 Sept. 2019

Worst crossword book ever. The whole family love crosswords and have done many in the past. None of us liked these. The clues are ridiculous and left us all wondering what they had to do with the answers. We are all well practised and its not just a USA to English thing as we do lots of puzzles from the states. Tried a few different ones in case but a complete waste of money, has been donated. Good luck to anyone who gives it a go.

I bought the first book in this series at the start of the pandemic lockdown, and I've been through almost half the series now. They're good puzzles for a serious crossword solver. The typeface and space to write are a good size, and the paper takes well to a pen---no bleed-through. Simon & Schuster created the very first crossword puzzle book ever in 1924 (I know this because I wrote about it in New York City Firsts), and they're still putting together good puzzles.

LLegó muy pronto y el libro tienen muchos crucigramas

I absolutely love the white pages making it easier to see the pencil marks. I also love that you can tear them out on the serrated edges and each puzzle is on a single page. I have bought many of these books and will continue to do so.

The puzzles in this book are interesting and intelligent . The levels of difficulty are not in order. Sometimes the smaller puzzles at the beginning of the book are more difficult than the ones later on. I've shopped at the major book stores and most of the puzzle books there are not interesting. The value is in the clues. Interesting clues are those which require you to think in great variety of "boxes."

I don't know other peoples' crossword skills, but this hit the spot for me. Just the right level of difficulty, challenging but still fun to do. The perforated pages are great, so you can work on a smooth surface rather than bending the pages.
