Great Solving!

I received this book a couple weeks ago and have been hooked on it! The puzzles are much more challenging than the ones Middleton creates for other publications. Warning--these have not been proofread very carefully; there are lots of errors (nearly one per puzzle)in the numbering/correspondence between grid and word list. Also, the type face sure wasn't chosen for its readability--the grid is "over-inked" and hard to read, and the numbers in the word list are very tiny. Despite this, they are still excellent solving. The book would have benefited by being spiral bound. One has to tear out (no perforations) each puzzle to be able to solve it.
