The Telegraph Big Book of General Knowledge Volume 1

Really good all round general knowledge crosswords. Great selection of questions on various subjects some more testing than others but great for keeping the brain active.

Reasonable spread of general Knowledge

great for general knowledge

I really enjoy "ploughing" through this book. Great way to relax and also test your memory.

Very good. Clear and questions close to actual crossword. Answers in the back

My friend and I do these crosswords together and find them very enjoyable. There is a variety of questions to suit all tastes. Would recommend

be warned - many questions are repeated, often in several crosswords. There are also a few spelling mistakes

What a con. The same clues appear in many of the puzzles, often on consecutive pages. Despite this book containing 150 puzzles, there's only about 60 different clues! (I exaggerate, but...)...And you have to be Sir Herbert Gusset or a contemporary to have a chance of solving them....I also suspect that a hefty number of answers were chosen just to shoehorn them into the difficult layout of letters already in the grid (eg 'Third largest city in Mozambique', or 'Nobel prize runner-up in 1952 for work on electronic wave patterns'). Okay, I made those up but it gives you an idea.Finally, some of these puzzles are a good few years old, judging by the questions about who's who in the cabinet.Gave it two stars as it was good for the memory: 'damn - had that clue in the last puzzle - now what was the answer?'
