Crosswords to Keep You Sharp

Crosswords to Keep You Sharp Everyone knows that it's important to exercise your body if you want to be healthy. But what about the mind? If you don't use it, you'll lose it. And what better way to stay sharp than by stretching your noodle with crosswords? The problem with modern crosswords, though, is that you have to know a lot of esoteric information to solve them. Who can remember who sang what song in the 1970s, who the Cubs' second baseman was in 1985, or the Best Supporting Actress of 1991? By contrast, these puzzles, originally printed in the 1960s, emphasize vocabulary and classical knowledge, not trivia and minutiae. They're perfect for older puzzle fans. So try these 72 crosswords presented with larger-than-usual type-so you won't have to strain your eyes to train your brain.Goodman, Arthur is the author of 'Crosswords to Keep You Sharp' with ISBN 9780806965598 and ISBN 0806965592.
