Crosswords Lists
This book has proved incredibly helpful in solving both crosswords and quizzes. It is well laid out and covers a wide range of areas - such as geography, animals, people,arts, history, science etc as well as lists of words of 2 letters up to 15 letters, two word phrases, rhymes etc. I find it so interesting I sometimes find myself just reading the book and forgetting to do my crossword! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys completing quizzes and crosswords. I have not found its equal.

2 books in 1
The picture makes this book look like two, it acts as 2 just turn it over and they meet in the middle.
Really handy for those awkward crossword clues, had this book for years and it was so dogeared that I had to replace it.
So good I bought it twice!!

A must have for Crossword addicts
These two books are an essential extra for the crossword lover.
They have helped me with those final illusive answers which have enabled me to finish the Telegraph & Times Prize Crosswords on several occassions.
