Fiendish and inimitable, Boatman is widely regarded as one of
Britain's most challenging and innovative compilers of cryptic
crosswords. In this book, you'll find fifty of his puzzles from the
Guardian, with an additional bonus crossword that was first
published online in the Genius slot. So much more than a puzzle
book, here Boatman tells the story in his own words behind the
development of each crossword: how he thought of the theme, the
ideas that didn't make it into print and the unlikely coincidences
that emerged afterwards. You'll discover his working methods and
the lively relationship between setter and editor, be able to enjoy
extra teaser clues and hear from the solvers who took the time to
comment on the puzzles when they were first published. All the
crosswords in this collection have been freshly typeset to make
solving them an even greater joy, with full solutions and
explanations of all the wordplay.Expect many hours of pleasure
here, whether you're coming to Boatman's puzzles for the first
time, looking for older pieces you may have missed in print,
rediscovering half-forgotten favourites or returning to try again
with a few that may have defeated you the first time round.
