Two Girls One on Each Knee (7): The Puzzling, Playful World of the Crossword by Alan Connor
With its history of the puzzle, the famous lives it has touched, its role in WW II, this is a must for Cryptic addicts who will immediately spot the answer to the title. For those who find the clues impenetrable, this book will illuminate the setters' secrets and, as the author claims, you will begin to find them easier and a lot more satisfying than Quick ones. Did you know the best place to start is the bottom right-hand corner?
