Written for British crossword aficionados, this remarkable crossword reference includes a dictionary of clues with possible answers arranged in order of length, but so much more. Entries include possible uses in cryptic style clues. Plus there are hundreds of arcane specialty lists, currencies and capitals, of course, but also famous diamonds, Dickens characters, dinosaurs, famous doctors, dog breeds, diseases, deserts, dances, diarists, and ducks. A must-have for the compleat cruciverbalist.
