BOOK OF CROSSWORDS

The Spectator enjoys a high reputation for its crosswords, which attract a large weekly postbag. This collection of 100 puzzles fea- tures the work of their three resident setters — Jac, Mass and Doc — and is organised to range from the easiest to the most fiendish puzzles. Each has a theme, given in the title, and the collection also includes examples of The Spectator's notorious circular crosswords. THE SPECTATOR BOOK OF CROSSWORDS will provide hours of cerebral stimulation for puzzle devotees of all levels of addiction.
