Review
A fiendish work, as frustrating, divisive and annoying as it is deeply fulfilling: the true spirit of Christmas (Guardian)
Surely the trickiest puzzle book in years. Crack these fiendish problems and Trivial Pursuit should be a doddle (Daily Telegraph)
Ideal for the crossword enthusiast (Daily Telegraph)
An explosion of a puzzle collection, too, with hundreds of questions and loads of peripheral material, including captioned photographs and history of twentieth-century British encryption, featuring the work of Alan Turing (The Times Literary Supplement)
WINNER OF STOCKING FILLER OF THE YEAR AWARD (THE GUARDIAN)
