Five Great Books on Printable Crosswords

Here is a list of my top five favorite crossword and crossword-related books out right now that I would personally recommend. All of these are inexpensive and easily available from Amazon.com. If you are a crossword-fiend like I am, you'll definitely want to check each of these out! But if nothing else, take a look at the last one in the list: One Man's Journey into America's Crossword Obsession.

The New York Times Monday Through Friday Easy to Tough Crossword Puzzles - The New York Times are known for their crossword puzzles. Any any serious NYT crossword solver knows that the puzzles get harder as the week goes on. By the time you get to the end of this puzzle book, you'll be pulling your hair out, and enjoying every minute of it!

New York Times Crosswords for Your Coffee Break: Light and Easy Puzzles - The same great quality New York Times crossword puzzles that your used to, but shorter and easier. This is a small paperback book that will make it easy to have on hand when you're waiting at the doctors office or in-line at the grocery store.

The People Puzzler - People Magazine is also well known for their crossword searches. In fact, by reading a few of the reviews on Amazon.com, that's the sole reason a few people even buy their magazine! Here you can get an entire book of their world-famous crossword puzzles for less than ten bucks. You can't go wrong with this one.

Simon and Schuster Super Crossword Puzzle Book #13 - If you'll recall back to our recent post on the history of printable crosswords, you'll remember that Simon and Schuster were the first publisher to start off the crossword puzzle book craze. Their latest edition builds on their known success for producing quality and challenging puzzles.

Crossworld: One Man's Journey into America's Crossword Obsession - We covered this book in our recent post Printable Crosswords Drama in World War II, and should be noted that this is NOT a puzzle book. The book's author, Marc Romano, looks in to the world of the crossword addict, covering the history of printable crosswords, and even claims puzzle solving can make you into a better, more informed, fairer, and more tolerant person." If you're a true crossword junkie, this is one to have on your shelf.

So there you have it - my personal list of my top five favorite printable crosswords books at the moment. The good thing with this hobby is, the material istypically inexpensive, and these five are no different. But keep in mind, even though they are in inexpensive, they are still in extremely high demand. It amazes me that I'm already making money selling my own printable crosswords that I've come up with myself!
