Great Mix of Puzzles

I just started working on this book. From what I can tell so far, it seems like Terry Stickels has suceeded yet again in coming up with clever puzzles that utilize the wide range of skills needed for successful puzzle solving: logic, math, spatial perception, and verbal flexibility. I especially enjoyed Stickels approach to solving cryptarithms; I think it will come in handy on other puzzle books that have cryptarithm problems.
