Wired and Ready

The puzzles are challenging and fun. The illustrations, quotations and factoids are light and amusing. All in all, it's an excellent little diversion that can easily fit in your purse or pocket. It makes a great gift. Oh and it's got a stamp of approval from puzzle guru Will Shortz himself!

Two Addictions Rolled Into One!

Puzzles and coffee go together perfectly, like a hot dog at a baseball game. So a book combining the two is a grand slam! The puzzles are easy and entertaining and sure to keep you occupied. Well done.

Love of Coffee Not Required

Tidy little mind teaser to tuck into a travel bag. Keep it close whenever you anticipate waiting time. Quick puzzles; success in minutes. Pick up several copies to hold for little gifts: one size fits all. Tuck in a pencil and you are a genius gift giver.

Grab it when you go!

This is a fun little book that doesn't take up much room in a purse or tote bag, etc. It's great to take along when there will be periods of "waiting time" of undetermined length - waiting to board a plane. . .The puzzles and antedotes are fun and interesting.
