The Complete Crossword Companion

When the Complete Crossword Companion first appeared in 1984 it was described as ‘the finest book for crossword devotees yet’ and sold out rapidly. This enlarged edition provides a greater number of cross references and is now even more helpful for those recalcitrant cryptic clues. The unique lists have been expanded so that there are now over 200 of them totalling over 10,000 references — double the previous quantity. There are three times as many kinds of birds, grasses, trees and vegetables, and five times as many different herbs, fishes and wild plants as there were in the first edition.
