The magazine The Spectator has been publishing crosswords since 1932. They have existed in their current form since 1971, when a compiler going by the name of 'Jac' introduced some of the most challenging and addictive cryptic puzzles ever published. Now written by four compilers working in rotation, the Spectator crossword remains a weekly source of delight and frustration to its many thousands of fans. This book brings together the best of the crosswords since 'Jac' began, and is guaranteed to provide hours of deciphering pleasure.
