Since its launch in 1942, The New York Times crossword has been considered the gold standard for puzzle workers of all skill levels. This hardcover volume includes 100 classic puzzles that have appeared in The Times. The puzzles, of various difficulty levels, have been edited by the legendary Will Shortz.

The volume features:

• High-quality paper that allows you to solve with pen or pencil;
• Cloth ribbon marker helps you keep your place so you can easily return to the puzzle you’re working on;
• Removable cover band that, when removed, leaves a discreet and sophisticated hardcover book.

The book’s size is small enough to conveniently carry but large enough to work on comfortably.
