Never an unsolved Crossword
I already have five copies of this book! - 4 in paperback and one hardback version. They are all "somewhat worse for wear" having been used so much over the last twenty years or so! I will order another two copies tonight to compliment my Franklin/Collins Crossword Solver, which is excellent in itself but cannot be added to. I write in all my BCSD's and then, laboriously have to transfer additional answers to the next book(s).
Please could the publishers make it possible . subject to a monitored data base, for the many users like me to add further entries from other crossword sources? At no cost! There would then be an even more formidable volume of resources for crossword solvers!
Finally thanks to Anne R Bradford - who had the initial idea and had the idea first.
Don't let's lose the momentum you created!

Bradfords crossword solvers dictionary
The dictionary was purchased for my 89yrs young friend who has bad eyesight, she thought it was good for her as she is a crossword fiend. It is a good size, printed well and good for crossworders. I hope this makes sense and is helpful.
