A classic collection of Times cryptic challenges

This paperback gathers 80 cryptic crosswords from The Times, presenting a substantial set of clue-solving challenges in a compact puzzle-book format. Edited by former Times Crossword Editor Brian Greer, it is the opening volume in a series and was previously published as The Times Crossword Book 1. The collection centers on the distinctive demands of cryptic crossword solving: working through wordplay and definitions across a broad run of individual puzzles. With 192 pages devoted to the format, it is designed for repeated, puzzle-by-puzzle use rather than a single continuous read.
