The Puzzle Arbor Crossword Series

Real crosswords in a handy 6×9 size, each book built around one subject: the Bible from Genesis to Esther, Easter, the great explorers, the ocean, the games we play around the table, small-town life and the Great American Songbook. Every book holds 60 puzzles in ten sections, with a checked fact about each subject above the grid.

The grids are a roomy 13×13, and the clues sit on the facing page, so there’s no flipping back and forth. The pages are laid out in our easy-reader format, and every book has a full answer key. In the two Bible Crosswords books, some clues quote the King James text and give the verse.
