Dell Crosswords Crosswords is "technically" the last of the Champion line. I seem to recall a post on the Cruciverb mailing list that they are working almost entirely from a large backlog of puzzles and aren't in the market for more, which is too bad. There aren't a whole lot of places to get "new-wave" style puzzles. It's too bad Games World of Crosswords folded last year. The magazine they filled out the subscriptions with is nowhere near as good.
I picked up some early issues of Dell Champion Crosswords on eBay late last year. Good purchase. (And if anyone has the 3rd issue of Games Pencilwise Extra, let me know at myronmmeyer@yahoo.com , m'kay?)
And Henry Hook is the bomb. There was a really good profile in the New Yorker last year in which he featured. I'm pretty sure it's available online.
-Myron has been doing a LOT of crossword puzzles lately. [/quote]
Games World of Puzzles is still intact I guess, I didn't know GWoCrosswords folded, sorry to hear that.
Games and Official publications recently joined together to create \"Puzzle Solvers Crossword and Variety puzzles\", a new magazine coming out I think four times a year, and those magazines consist of largely previously printed puzzles.
