Humorous Cryptograms

Arrived when promised, added a lot of pleasure time since.

Another item that is received when scheduled, and I am very pleased with the merchandise as well as the service!

This is a great book which makes you laugh after solving each cryptogram, and I've been doing a few cryptograms a day for the last month. One can do it without clues or opt to have one or two clues. The print is great, the size is perfect to carry it everywhere and I would highly recommend this book to cryptogram lovers. I plan to buy this book for my mother-in-law who loves solving puzzles and cryptograms. I've done over half the cryptograms and have found only 2 errors, but it didn't bother me. Most are of medium difficulty, and once in a while there is one which is more difficult.

This inexpensive, sturdy, entertaining book contains 400 humorous, comical and sometimes even witty quotes, drawn from a myriad of personalities and encoded in challenging substitution cipher, guaranteed to keep you busy for hours. It also includes an introduction with general hints for solving cryptograms and, for those who take a wrong turn, two sections with clues on the solution of each puzzle. The full solutions are presented at the back of the book, along with an index of authors and quotations for those searching for quotes from one or another individual in particular. The puzzles vary in difficulty, and you will find yourself using your intuition, your knowledge of spelling and syntax, and even your familiarity of each quoted individual to figure them out. If you love cryptograms, buy this book. I can assure you that besides getting a healthy workout for your mind, you will also find, at the end of each puzzle, a gratifying laugh, chuckle or smile. --Reviewed by Maritza Volmar

There's a real reward doing these humorous puzzles, a good chuckle at the end. I'm a cryptogram nut these days and I found this one a real hoot. Each puzzle rated a least a smile and at most a belly laugh. If you like this kind of puzzle, by all means get this one. Oh yes, the pages are nice and sturdy, so you don't have to worry about making holes in the paper when you erase.

I found this book to be error-free. It has page after page of puzzles to work on hour after hour. I recommend it for those who love cryptograms.For the novice, a clue is provided for each puzzle at the end of the book. I have had to buy several copies for family members who share my addiction to this clever type of puzzle. There are enough puzzles to last days and days and days. That beat working 20 in a puzzlebook, and then having to buy a new puzzlebook. I like all cryptograms. This book was written for me!
