This book gives you the sort of information that you would normally spend ages trying to find in all the normal crossword reference books, but it does it in seconds. I have started to use it for the Telegraph Crosswords on Saturday and Sunday and it almost feels like cheating.

An exciting and updated Chambers Crossword Dictionary. This is a must for crossword addicts with its in depth detail and discription of so many words. This was a replacement for a previous edition that had been used and used again and again to almost destruction.
