This is an excellent book for aiding in solving cryptic crosswords. We have an old copy that was falling apart and have struggled to find a replacement in the shops. This one was delivered on time in perfect condition

I was a bit disappointed in this book. It is missing a lot of words I've looked up. It might be good for high school kids but not for college.

This book is very helpful. It contains the most useful and frequently used words. But in my opinion, this book is not so excellent for native speakers. It is fine only for foreigners.
