Schaffer Crossword Dictionary is the best

2008-08-06
I've been doing crossword puzzles for years and this Dictionary by Schaffer is the best. I had a soft bound edition but wore it out with use. So, this year I bought a nice hard bound edition. You won't be disappointed.

Years ago, I bought a previous edition of this dictionary for my dad, a lifelong crossword puzzler. I chose this one only because I was poor and it was cheap. Well, I'm just about to order his fifth copy of the book (I think--I've lost count). He uses them until the pages fall out--and then it's just about time for me to get him a new one. He has others; my siblings have gotten him tons of other, fancier, more complicated dictionaries, but this is the one he uses because it's straightforward, no-fuss, and almost always has the answer.

This is the BEST Crossword Dictionary by far. Had one that was so dog-earred and torn was literally falling apart. Had purchased a dozen other crossword dictionarys but none measured up to this one. Went on line and found it... EXCELLENT PURCHASE and so excited to have a new one.

This is one of the best crossword dictionaries I have seen, if it's not in here it's not a word! The only problem might be the small print if you have a vision issue.

It took nearly ten years, but I literally wore out my first A-Z Crossword Dictionary; it fell into several pieces eventually. I have other crossword dictionaries, like the New York Times one, but the A-Z one is absolutely the best for the average crossword puzzle lover. I'm happy to have a brand new copy.
