Love Those Cryptics

Being a big fan if cryptic crosswords, I've been discouraged by the lack of collections such as this. The puzzles become increasingly more challenging as one progresses through the pages, but the clues and answers are not so obscure or arcane as many of those found in British publications. Thank you, Mr. Tucker, for creating a truly fun book! (I'm still working on it.)

Brain exercise

This is a great confidence builder, especially when you don't peek at the answers. Solving gives a real boost to your self esteem. A good way to build your vocabulary and word usage. I am 76 years old and love cryptic puzzles, particularly the black and white square type.

great fun book

Excellent book. I take it with me and do a few clues at a time. The answers at the back really help. It is my first go at crosswords and this book is the perfect solution.
