The Hidden Code of Cryptic Crosswords

the long version

This is a definitely a wonderful, must-have book for cryptic enthusiasts. However, be aware that it could take several years for a casual beginner to fully fathom its depths. I learned the basics from other more simple books, all the time holding Francois' book but not able to fully understand it. After a time, something clicked and then I discovered just how good a book it was. Even now I'm still going through it and learning more all the time. Thanks for an excellent book Francois!
