Among the many hats worn by multi-talented Stanley Newman are those of expert puzzle author and editor. Now, Stanley"s put another hat on his shelf: that of puzzle talent scout. Starting with Grid Play, Stanley has begun to put his imprimatur on books spotlighting gifted newcomers, collections by puzzle creators whose names aren"t household words. A while back, Stephen Sniderman started inventing ways to recycle crossword grids and Grid Play is the result. There are word games, math games and board games; some are played on filled-in grids, some on blank grids; there are one-player, two-player and multi-player games. And, of course, there are crosswords- 23 original, not-too-tough puzzles and extra-large answer grids that make it easy for solvers to proceed quickly to the other "grid play."
