A World of Crosswords.
222 crossword puzzles – at least one for every country.
Entertaining, interesting, and educational.
One crossword puzzle per page and the solutions are at the back of the book.
Everyone knows about Canada, USA, UK, Germany…, but who knows the capital of Croatia? What are the three official languages in New Zealand? And what country would I have to be exploring to visit Chitral, Taxila, and the Cholistan Desert? Where is Lake Van? And Shiraz? What is the currency in Liberia? And where is the Okavango Delta? Where are the Chitwan National Park and Lake Baikal? And which 2 countries are double-landlocked?
Tired of television? The internet? Apps, tablets, smartphones? Remember the old days when entertainment didn’t require wi-fi and batteries and pop-up ads? Do you remember the simple joy of sharpening a pencil? Seeing your own error and using the eraser on the end of the pencil? And the eventual satisfaction of completing a crossword (without peeking at the answers)? Bring back these better, simpler times.
“I LOVED these crosswords. I’ve travelled to almost 100 countries. Doing these puzzles brought back so many amazing memories. The Kotor fijord in Monetnegro. The coffee in Beirut. And the chocolate cake in Kathmandu!! The apfelstrudel mit vanillensauce at the café next to Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin. A rooftop bar on the northern edge of Sorrento, a wild midnight storm and an endless supply of limoncello. My first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower that later I walked up. Now I just want to pack my bags and visit 100 more countries.”
These crosswords puzzles will push you to an atlas or an encyclopaedia or a blow-up globe. (You have a blow-up globe, don’t you? You must have one.) You’ll lose track of time as you read about Papua New Guinea and Egypt and Morocco and Bolivia and… You may find the source of the Nile. You will find the Sahara. And Zanzibar. Oh and Port Louis in Mauritius too. And Almaty in Kazakhstan. And Istanbul.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
