A great collection by the puzzlemaster himself. Each puzzle contains a bright and humorous insight opinion by Will Shortz. Each construction is loaded with cryptic clues and punny answers. It is spiral-bounded so solving it is very convinient and you won't have to worry about damaging the spine. A lovely set of puzzles for those who only prefer the best.
