Book Description

Publication Date: 5 April 2004 | Series: Collins GEM

A new edition of this number one bestselling crossword dictionary in a handy Gem format

Most crossword dictionaries on the market have been derived from dictionary and thesaurus wordlists and so put together essentially by computer. This new Gem edition of the bestselling Bradford’s Crossword Solver’s Dictionary is the only one compiled by a real author, and is based on intelligent in-depth analysis of 40 years of crossword clues. Every word in it has occurred as a genuine crossword solution, and it offers instant crossword help in a handy, portable Gem format.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Class and fully comprehensive 29 Nov 2001
By Mrs H M Sears
Format: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.
