Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good puzzles hurt by amazing number of errors
Review: I enjoyed the puzzles. Every one has a theme and Ms Jacobson handles them cleverly. I would have given it a five if not for the amazing number of typos. As many as half of the puzzles have clues missing, duplicate clue numbers, and typos in the clues that you (obviously) need to figure out before you can complete the puzzle. Not really acceptable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I can't wait for the next book!
Review: Maura Jacobson constructs the weekly crosswords in New York Magazine and has several crossword collections available. The spiral binding makes the book easy to write on. While I was surprised at the number of typographical errors I found they did not detract from my enjoyment of Ms. Jacobson's puzzles. The themes are clever, the puzzles are challenging but not impossible to complete and I look forward to the next book in the series. In the meantime I grab New York Magazine and complete a weekly puzzle longing for more.
