Items related to Strange World of the Crossword
Here is the most varied selection of crosswords ever assembled over fifty puzzles which range from the straight-forward to the almost impossible (and including one that is impossible!). Roger Millington examines the fascinating history and progress of the crossword from the first puzzle books in the Twenties to today when the crossword may well be the most popular of all recreations - certainly every newspaper and magazine from the Times onwards carries one.
Roger Millington describes the largest crossword ever; the fastest and slowest solvers; the man who left a crossword suicide note; and the man who shot his wife for not helping him with the clues. And in case the puzzles stump you, solutions are given for all of them at the end of the book.
For addicts, willing or enslaved, here is the ideal companion book
