[.ca] Simon Schuster Super Crossword Puzzle Dictionary And ... (ISBN 0684856964)

Not Just For X-Words--Brain Teasing Fun:
The majority of our evaluators donned this colorful book to be out and out fun. Whether they were writing puzzles (sans computer programs) solving them or just reading through the vast information. The most common remarks were "It is funky, contemporary, and extremely well organized." Simon & Schuster has put together over 200,000 words which are arranged most proficiently. For example, if one needs a 6 letter word which is of the chemical ilk meaning toxic--turn to alpha order page TOXIC, peruse the additons, one of the entries by letter evaluation is DIOXIN. Far more than for crosswords, this informational fountain flows with a high level reference section. One can find anything from Grammy Award winners, best sport teams, historical facts, pop-culture and even current events (thru 1998-9). Superb for trivia buffs, lovers of words, crossword puzzlers.

Easy read type but no substance.:
I found very few circumstances were this reference book came even close to to the comprehensiveness of the "Random House Crossword Puzzle Dictionary". The only thing that recommends it is the easy to read type face.
