Crossword Puzzler's Handbook, Revised Edition

Richard Showstack is a freelance writer, author, ghostwriter, and editor in Southern California. He figures that he has done more than 10,000 crossword puzzles in his life, so he is familiar with all of the “cross weirds” (words that appear in crossword puzzles more often than in general conversation or the media).  His other books include A HORSE NAMED PEGGY and Other Enchanting character-building Stories for Smart Teenage Boys Who Want to Grow Up to Be Good Men, THE GIFT OF MAGIC and Other Enchanting character-building Stories for Smart Teenage Girls Who Want to Grow Up to Be Strong Women, ePIFfunnies: Humorous Reflections, Insights, and Musings on Life and Living, and Son of ePIFfunnies: More Humorous Reflections, Insights, and Musings on Life and Living.
