GK, you were in at the start, so you've done all that were posted.

The links at post #5 are two more that I found. That's the works.

Try the WSJ link. The Atlantic setters always had more challenging. Today's looks like a bruiser.

Yes, much more challenging & interesting than Harper's. So many variations.

It's a pity The Atlantic stopped publishing the puzzles; first in print & then on-line.
However, Cox and Rathvon, reputedly retired, now produce for the WSJ.

Rather slow site - their money's working, not wasted on servers for the idle. (-;

Check the Saturday entries. Setters' names don't appear up top, so it can be a bit tedious.
Patrick Berry (?), of NYT fame, seems to be a major player, but he doesn't do cryptics.

Do you know what years the book covers? 96 pages, so ~ 180 puzzles?
It's only $8 at Amazon, & if I've done them before it will be a good test of the old memory chips.

Might I ask a favour of you? The library has renewed the Harper's subscription so we should be good for another year, but if an issue goes missing perhaps you could supply the puzzle. ?
There was a rumble above about back-issues. The sharks are gathering.
