Reviews

From: Methodist Recorder - May 2008

After retirement as editor of the "Baptist Times", John Capon undertook the compilation of the newspaper's weekly crossword and 80 of these have been brought together in Three down nine across, nicely timed for summertime travellers and holiday-makers. The puzzles have been adapted where necessary for a wider audience and the biblical clues are accompanied by specific references, using the first edition of the New International Version. There are also general knowledge questions and a couple of anagrams in each puzzle.
