I'm so excited to receive this beautiful, hard-bound book. Of course, one cannot read a work like this cover-to-cover and review it in the regular way. However, I am always delighted to add a new reference work to my library, because each one becomes a dependable friend. I'm looking forward to enjoying The Chambers Complete Crossword Companion for many years to come.

I won a copy of this book through goodreads first reads.

For someone who does not do crosswords very often because I can never figure out the clues, the book is amazing. Even if you are an expert in crosswords, you would still find it helpful. Not only do you get synonyms for words but you also get other associations for key words.
