Item description from seller

Are you frustrated at never quite finishing a cryptic crossword? Or have you never attempted one because you don't know where to start? Help is now at hand in this easy-to-follow course which will enable you to tackle the craftiest clues a compiler can throw at you. Arthur MacTier uncovers the secrets behind those fiendish clues, breaking them down into categories which he teaches you how to recognise. Ploys, such as hidden words, puns and extremes of lateral thinking, are all revealed to make the cryptic crossword an enjoyable challenge which you can master. So, if you want to learn how to solve clues like: One professional turns up in disorderly disco with a sting in his tail? (9) or Properly dressed schoolboy should have a chicken (5) or any others for that matter, then just follow the course lessons in this book. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Store description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
