This book of 360 cryptograms--with its highly convenient spiral binding, clever content, and cheery cover--is one of my all-time favorites. I've worked through all of the puzzles in Henry Hook's Hooked on Cryptograms and have enjoyed myself immensely.
The quotes are fascinating. They aren't the usual, often dull, quotes from long-dead philosophical, literary or political stars. No indeed. Hook has chosen many modern day comedians to feature in this puzzle book. I enjoyed many a chuckle after solving puzzles.
In addition, the book's format is well laid out and logical. I love that both First Hints and Second Hints are provided as well as Solutions at the back of the book. You really can't go wrong adding this book to your list.
