The Herald Crossword Book: Volume 1

Calum J. MacDonald

Available this year for the first time, The Herald Crossword Book contains seventy-five puzzles from the paper’s formidable stable of compilers, regarded as the most diverse in Scotland. Crosswords Editor Calum MacDonald (CJM) provides an introduction to the Herald’s crosswords and their compilers. Next, it’s time to get your thinking caps on before tackling the selection of cryptic and quick puzzles. And for those who really like a challenge, John McKie (Myops) offers five examples of the ‘Wee Stinker’ – a puzzle that has a cult following and a reputation for being one of the UK’s most difficult crosswords.
