    Winning combination: great puzzles, great value

    This book has so many of the wonderful NY Times puzzles. The pages are easy to tear out and carry off (the book is huge!) I expect hours and hours of entertainment from this book.

    The New York Times Book of Supersized Sunday Crosswords 500 puzzles

    Getting 500 Sunday puzzles for the price I paid was indeed a bargain. The only drawback is that with it being an inch and a half thick it's kind of clumsy. I've been thinking of using a box cutter to remove a few pages at a time in order to make working on the puzzles more convenient. It would have been nice if the voluminous edition came with a way of doing that, but it's not an insurmountable obstacle.

  • Tickle your brains.

    A very challenging set of puzzles. Enough to keep me going for a couple of years. A good way to stave off dementia.

  • Great collection, hard to read.

    For crossword fans this is a comprehensive, broad collection. The only problem is that the print is very small and not very dark, so reading glasses are mandatory for all but those with perfect vision.

  • Great Crosswords

    This book contains 500 crosswords from the Sunday New York Times. It's a guaranteed good time for those who like challenging puzzles. It's printed on newsprint so is non-reflective. The print is clear. It is very thick, as you can imagine, so is a little unwieldy.
