Customer Reviews

Lots of writing

Most of the puzzles have been done. Plus, there is .50 sticker on the front of it. I got 4 puzzle books. The other two are great. I won't be ordering again as the writing should have been listed in the description.

Pure Puzzling Pleasure

Always a fan of the late lamented Games Magazine, I sharpened my pencil and sat down for a long afternoon of mental enjoyment with Games Best Pencil Puzzles Volume 2. I was not disappointed. This book will keep me busy on and off for weeks. I especially like the Paint By Numbers section, which is a mental logic problem of multiple simultaneous equations that really captivated my mathematical mind. I also enjoyed the crossword puzzles. My only complaint is that some of the clues are somewhat dated; they refer to people and events that were current years ago. Now that I think about it, I guess I have another complaint; my husband keeps picking this book up and writing in it, in pen! For an excellent variety of puzzles, from easy to difficult, from crosswords to cryptics to logic to wacky wordies, this is a great choice. I recommend it to all, particularly those people who loved Games magazine, as did I.
