First Class and fully comprehensive,
This review is from: Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary (Hardcover)
This is undoubtedly the best and most comprehensive dictionary on the market for serious crossword addicts. For those of us who have to "cheat" occasionally to complete a crossword it is definitely the first book of reference to choose. I give it five stars plus.
