Every crossword fan should keep this reference within reach. The softcover edition is billed as the most comprehensive pocket crossword dictionary on market. And this hybrid dictionary, thesaurus and almanac lives up to the promise. Probable answers to clue words are listed alphabetically and by number of letters. Literary, dramatic, historical and other references are usefully arranged. "Elephant Man" listings, for example, include the film's director and cast members. "Festival" includes the festival names of the Greek and Roman deities. Look under "Language" for the mother tongues of nearly three pages of countries. A very handy book!

Being a crossword "freak" with shelves and shelves of reference books on various subjects I was delighted to find this dictionary. Besides the standard crossword dictionary fare it includes many facts found in Almanacs (awards, sports trivia, etc) plus extensive information on people ranging from Presidents to movie stars plus detailed information on plays and even television shows. When I travel this is the only reference book I need to carry.

Best Of The Lot....
18. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
I've owned about a half dozen crossword dictionaries over the years. Most I just selected based on price. (The cheapest that is). This Random House edition is not only very reasonably priced, but the very best I have come across as well in a softcover. If you have never seen or owned a crossword dictionary, you should know that they differ from regular dictionaries in that they offer little in the way of meaning, only synonyms of words. (The actually meaning being pretty much able to be deduced from that alone in most cases). They offer the word or clue in bold and then follow it up with as many synonyms that seem reasonable, or the editors could think of. Even if the correct word is not listed, it still aides you in sending you in the right direction as to the clue words meaning. This book also carries a healthy amount of trivia style data for those clues that ask something specific about movies, famous people, locations, political figures, cities of the world, events, etc. Personally I feel it is by far the most comprehensive reference of its kind anywhere near its price. And I highly recommend it.
One last thing, one problem that I have found with a lot of these books is the print being either too small, or the clue word not being bold enough to see and scan effectively. Sometimes the clue word is barely bigger or bolder than the synonyms that follow and it takes longer to find what your looking for. And other times the print is just to darn small for those of us whose eyes have seen better days. The Random House book has both very bold and clear clue words, and the print is a reasonable size. All 'round the very best of the lot in this price range in my opinion...

I bought this and the MILLION WORD DICTIONARY for my Mom. She liked them both but found this one slightly less useful than the other. Still a good dictionary though.
