5.0 out of 5 stars First Class and fully comprehensive, 29 Nov 2001
By helen.sears@hemscott.net (Ringwood, Hampshire) - See all my reviews
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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bradford's crossword solver dictionary gem edition, 11 Mar 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary (Collins GEM) (Paperback)
I bought this not realising this was the gem version and have subsequently bought the full size version.

The full size version costs more but contains loads more definitions and word lists and is in my opinion much better value. The only reason I would buy this again, would be to have as a portable maybe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every crossword addict's dream, 5 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Bradford's Crossword Solver's Dictionary (Paperback)
This book is every crossword addict's dream. No mere list of synonyms, the words in this book have been culled from actual crosswords from almost a lifetime's study of these puzzles. Anyone using this book will soon come to appreciate how it has been put together. Whether it's a foreign word, archaic term or simply a word with a recognised association with the words in the clue, you will find this book indispensable in solving crosswords quickly and with ease.
