About this Item

1st printing. Iconic yellow and white card cover of the first Penguin Miscellaneous series. 224pp. Cunning Penguin 'Which Book?' advert to rear cover, inviting readers to say in which books certain named characters appear. Spine lightly rubbed at ends and edges, small black mark to front (possibly ink); pages lightly tanned, binding sound. All of the 'Everyman' crosswords (i.e. standard cryptic puzzles) have been attempted, though almost all have at least one word blank; 5 of the 'Ximenes' puzzles are completely blank, the remainder being solved in varying degrees (but none completely); the previous owner clearly did not stoop to looking at the solution pages! NB: An extra shipping charge may be requested for heavier or more valuable items. All our 'Seller Images' show the actual item you will receive.
